Chemical management
- The top most three leaf axils around the spindle
may be filled with any of the following mixtures as a prophylactic
measure:
1. Sevidol 8G 25 g + fine sand 200 g, which is to
be done thrice in a year during April-May, September-October and
December-January
2. For seedlings, apply Naphthalene balls 10.5 g
(approx. three to four balls) covered with fine sand, once in 45 days.
- Place phorate 10 G @ 5 g in perforated sachets in
two inner most leaf axils for 2 times at 6 months intervals.
- Treat manure pits and other possible breeding
sites with 0.01% carbaryl (50% WP) on w/w basis. Treatment will have to be
repeated every six months.
