  • Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP 2.5 gram / kg seed or Carboxin 37.8% + Thyram 37.8% 2.5 gram / kg seed. Treat seeds with.
  • Spray kasugamycin 5% + copper oxychloride at the rate of 45% WP @ 300 gram / acre or thiophanate methyl 70% WP 500 gram / acre.
  • Use of Bacillus subtilis / Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram / acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram / acre in biological treatment. These fungicides are used as soil treatment and seed treatment.
