  • Similar to soil treatment, seed treatment is also very important before sowing.
  • Treating seeds ensures controlled seed-borne diseases and quality germination. Seed treatment is done by two methods.
  • Chemical treatment: – Before sowing, treat okra seeds with CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WS @ 3 ml / kg seed 
  • For insect control or IMIDACLOPRID 48% FS @  4 ml / kg seed or THIAMETHOXAM 30% FS@ 4 ml / kg seed
  • Biological treatment: -TRICHODERMA VIRIDE @ 5 gram / kg + PSB @ 2 gram / or PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS @ 5 gram / kg seeds.
  • The seeds should always be planted after full treatment and at the time of sowing, there should be enough moisture in the soil.
