Just as soil treatment is necessary before sowing, in the same way, seed treatment before sowing is very important.
By treating seeds, seed-borne diseases are controlled as well as it ensures quality germination.
Seed treatment is done by two methods.
Chemical treatment: – Before sowing, treat onion seeds with CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% @ 2.5gram / kg seed or CARBOXIN 17.5%+ THIRAM 17.5% @ 2.5g / kg seed.
Biological treatment: -TRICHODERMA VIRIDE @ 5 gram / kg + PSB @ 2 gram / or PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS @ 5 gram / kg seeds.
