| SL. No. | DAYS | ACTIVITIES |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 days before seeding | Spraying of Glyphosate @ 1kg a.i./ha |
| 2 | On the day of seeding |
Sowing with Zero Till Drill/ Multi crop planter (Seed rate 25-28 kg/ha) N.B.: 25-30 gram seeds over 50m from a single tyne calibration OR Surface seeding is also possible if moisture permits |
| 3 | On the day of seeding | Fertilizer application through Zero till drill / Multi crop planter@ N-P-K (10-26-26) @ 187.5/ha |
| 4 | On the day of seeding | Seed treatment with Rhizobium + Trichoderma viride + PSB(5g/kg of seeds) |
| 5 | On the day of seeding | Cutting rice stubbles (mulching); Light irrigation if needed |
| 6 | 1-2 days after seeding | Spraying of Pendimethalin 1kg a.i./ha + Imizathapyr 10% @750g/ha |
| 7 | 20 days after seeding | Spraying of Boron (20%) @ 0.2% |
| 8 | 22-25 days after seeding |
Spraying of Liquid Fertilizer (19-19-19 @ 5g/litre or DAP 2%)followed by a light irrigation |
| 9 | 35-40 days after seeding | Spraying of Boron (20%) @ 0.2% |
| 10 | 70-75 days after seeding | Irrigation* N.B.: (*) Subsequent irrigation (if needed) based on soil moisture |
- Use Flat Fan Nozzle while spraying herbicides
- For mixing two separate herbicides, stock solution has to be prepared before mixing the herbicides in tank
- The dates in the protocols can be modified based on location
- Previous crop residues should be retained at least @5t/ha
- For surface seeding of mustard/lentil, soil moisture are to be assured; otherwise, it will be followed by light irrigation
- Mulching with previous rice straw in mustard or lentil helps to conserve moisture and at the same time reduces the weed pressure
- If Stemphyllum blight appears at the initial stage Metalaxyl + Mancozeb @ 2% may be used
- If February when the temperature starts to rise, Spraying of Trifloxastrabin + Tebuconazole @300kg/ha is to be sprayed
