Agronomic management

The management practices for various rice-pulses cropping systems are presented below.

Seed treatment with a fungicide like carbendazim (2g per kg of seed) or Thiram (3g per kg of seed) along with ammonium molybdate @ 3g /10 kg of seeds, appropriate rhizobium culture @ 50 g per kg of seed is beneficial.
Application of post emergence herbicides i.e. Quizalofop ethyl @ 50 g a.i. per ha at 3 weeks crop growth stage or Imazethapyr @ 75 g a.i. per ha at 15-20 days crop stage for weed control in pulses.
For supplementing N, P and K to the crops, foliar spray of DAP (2%) or 1% DAP + 1% MOP should be done at 20 and 40 days after sowing.
