Prevention Measures:

  • Use healthy seeds for sowing.

  • Adopt crop rotation of 2-3 years and make a proper drainage system.

  • Use recommended doses of fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorous.

  • Before sowing, treat the seeds in hot water for 20 minutes at 50 °C and select resistant varieties.

Soil Treatment: To protect against this disease, spread Trichoderma viridi 500 gm in soil with 4 to 5 tonnes of well-decomposed cow dung per acre evenly before sowing. Re-use Trichoderma Viridi 500g/acre after 30 days.

Chemical Control:

Seed Treatment: Before sowing, treat the seeds with Carmanova 2.5 gm/kg seed solution.

Preventive measures at the onset of disease symptoms: Spray Hexaconazole 5% SC (Novacone), @ 400 ml + Silicomax (sticker) @ 50 ml per acre in 200 litres of water or Kitazin 48 when the initial symptoms of the disease appear.
