Precautions to be followed during seed treatment in Kharif crops

  • In Kharif, mainly cotton, chilli, soybean, tomato, etc. crops are sown.

  • For good production in these crops, it is very beneficial to do seed treatment before sowing, but it is very important to be careful while doing seed treatment.

  • Seed treatment should be done in the order of FIR, i.e. first using fungicide followed by insecticide and lastly any organic product (PSB/Rhizobium).

  • Spread the seeds on an earthen pot or polythene sheet and mix the dry or liquid form of fungicide and insecticide by spreading it well on the seeds. One thing should be kept in mind in this type of treatment that the chemical should stick well on the seeds.

  • Use as much water as needed to coat the seed or chemical

  • Use only recommended doses of fungicide and insecticide
