Monitoring for Pest and Disease
-
Undertake community level monitoring to know change in distribution and abundance of pest.
-
Organise regular pest monitoring and assess bio control potential at every 10 days interval.
-
Record pest incidence at every 5 to 10 km distance at 12 spots/ha and 5 plants/spot selected randomly.
-
Use pheromone traps for monitoring gram pod borer. Install pheromone traps at a distance of 50 m @ 5 traps/ha for each insect pest.
-
Use specific lure for each pest species and change the lure after every 15-20 days. Trapped moths should be removed daily.
Pre-sowing stage
-
Deep ploughing in summer.
-
Apply well decomposed FYM or neem cake
-
Synchronised sowing single recommended variety in village/area
-
Solar treatment to the soil using transparent polythene mulching for at least for 15 days.
-
Removal of crop stubbles
-
Inter cropping with coriander/mustard/wheat/sorghum (Rabi)
-
Early planting mid October to escape the peak activity of H. armigera
-
Marigold plantation should be adopted as trap crop/antagonistic crop for nematode.
-
Use tolerant/resistant varieties
Sowing date
-
Use Rhizobium culture @ 1 pkt +(200g), 190 kg seed for effective modulation
-
Thinning should be done in case of dense plant population
-
Seed treatment with Trichoderma @ 4 gm/kg of seed.
-
Seed treatment with Carbendazim 25% DS@ 0.75 gm.)/ kg. of seed.
-
Seed treatment with Carbosulfan 25 EC @ 3%.
-
Follow recommended agronomic practices for land preparation seed ratio proper and balanced fertilizer crop stand.
Vegetative stage
-
Inter culture and band weeding for keeping the crop weed free for 6 to 8 weeks.
-
Detopping to reduce pest occurrence
-
Regular monitoring of gram pod borer in south zone during entire crop season.
-
Conservation of predatory wisp, spiders, insect parasitoids etc.
Flowering stage
-
NPV 250 LE or B.t. var Kurstaki 1 kg/ha NSKE 5% or neem pesticides.
-
Conservation of predators like spiders, chrysopa and other natural enemies by avoiding indiscriminate use of pesticides.
-
Installing of bird perches for predatory birds.
Fruiting stage
-
NPV 250 LE or B.t. var Kurstaki 1 kg/ha NSKE 5% or neem pesticides.
-
Conservation of predators like spiders, chrysopa and other natural enemies by avoiding indiscriminate use of pesticides.
-
Installing of bird perches for predatory birds.
