Expert Advisory Details

Use this treatment to protect groundnuts from Tikka disease in the first week of August

Groundnut: Do not allow the crop to suffer from water stress at the pod development stage. Any stress at this stage causes a drastic reduction in the yield of groundnut. Control Tikka disease by spraying with wettable sulphur @ 500-750 g/acre in 200-300 litres of water per acre or Bavistin/Derosal/Agrozim @ 50-60 g/acre in 100 litres of water per acre. Give 3-4 sprays at 15 days intervals starting from August.
