| SL. No. | DAYS | ACTIVITIES |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 days before seeding | Spraying of Glyphosate @1 kg a.i./ha (100ml/tank) |
| 2 | On the day of seeding | Seeding with Multi crop Planter (seed rate 20kg/ha) NB:Planter should be calibrated at 200-240 seeds over 50m from a single tyne(~83000plants/ha) |
| 3 | On the day of seeding | Fertilization appication through Muti crop planter@ N-P-K (10-26-26)@256 kg /ha; seeds should be treated with Carbendazim @5g/kg of seeds; Fipronil Granules(@20kg/ha) should be mixed in the fertilization box |
| 4 | 1-2 days after seeding | Spraying of Atrazine@ 1kg a.i./ha OR Pendimethalin @ 1kg a.i./ha OR If Tembotrione(Laudis)is planned as post emergence application, this operation may be skipped |
| 5 | 28-30 days after seeding | Spraying of Boron (20%) @0.2% |
| 6 | 30-35 days after seeding | Irrigation + First Top Dressing(Urea150kg/ha).The Urea must be applied before irrigation by band placement parallel to maize line rather than random broadcasting |
| 7 | 35-40 days after seeding | Spraying of Tembotrione @120g a.i./ha OR Atrazine @ 0.5kg a.i./ha + Tembotrione @120g a.i./ha |
| 8 | 50-55 days after seeding | Spraying of Boron (20%) @0.2% + Chellated Zn (1g/liter water) |
| 9 | 60-65 days after seeding | Irrigation + Second Top Dressing(Urea @150kg + MOP @ 37.5 kg/ha). The Urea and MOP must be applied before irrigation by band placement parallel to maize line rather than random broadcasting |
| 10 | 70-75 days after seeding | Spraying of Boron (20%) @0.2% + Chellated Zn(1g/liter water) |
| 11 | 75-80 days after seeding | Irrigation* NB:(*)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 tan
- The dates in the protocols can be modified based on location
- Previous crop residues should be retained at least @ 5t/ha
- For maize , sometimes soil are to be treated with Chlorpyriphos to protect the seeds against borer
