Advisory for the farmers growing Maize and Pulses

MAIZE- Control maize borer by spraying 30ml Coragen 18.5SC in 60 litres of water per acre. Trichogramma, a bioagent can also be used as recommended by PAU.

• To manage fall armyworm on grain crop, spray the crop with Coragen 18.5 SC (chlorantraniliprole) @ 0.4 ml or Delegate 11.7 SC (spinetoram) @ 0.5 ml or Missile 5 SG (emamectin benzoate) @ 0.4 g per litre of water. Direct the spray nozzle towards the whorl, for its effective control.
• To control mixed weed flora in maize, spray 105 ml per acre Laudis 420 SC in 150 litres of water at 15-20 days after sowing with flat fan nozzle.

PULSES- Sowing of mash (Mash 114, Mash 338) should be completed upto first week of July and moong (ML 1808, ML 2056 and ML 818) should be completed during the second fortnight of July as delayed sowing result in lower yields.
