Achievements & Honours 14 Honours

Recommendation for POP

Protection against storage pest in pulse: Properly dried seeds of mungbean, urdbean, field pea, lentil and lathyrus should be mixed thoroughly with black pepper seed powder @ 3 g/kg seed for protection against bruchid infestation during storage. Treated seeds should be kept in poly bags with outer covering of gunny bags.

Recommendation for POP

Mulching with rice straw @ 3.5 t/ha just after sowing is effective for management of cutworm in field pea & chickpea

Recommendation for POP

Dusting with ash of crop residues + fine sand @ 30 kg (25 kg ash +5 kg sand) /ha just after appearance of aphid during early morning hours and need based re application at reproductive stage are most effective for the management of aphid in lathyrus

Recommendation for POP
Spraying of spiromesifen 22.9 SC @ 1.25 ml/l of water at vegetative and reproductive stages of mungbean is effective against sucking pests.

Recommendation for POP
Recommendation: Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 0.3 ml/l and Lamda cyahalothrin 5 EC @ 0.6 ml/l water is recommended for control of lepidopteran pests in jute.
