IPM Modules for pigeonpea and chickpea (Annexure VII)

 

Component Operations
Field Deep summer ploughing
Cultural practices Ridge sowing + cover crops (cowpea, soybean, mungbean, urdbean)
Resistant/tolerant varieties

Varieties resistant to wilt and sterility mosaic should be used

Seed treatment

Carbendazim + Thiram (1:3 g/kg)

Intercropping and crop rotation

With sorghum and harvesting only panicles. This results in lower incidence of wilt and stalk serve as perches for birds

Sowing time

Timely sowing

Monitoring

Pheromone trap @ 5 traps/ha. A catch of 4-5 male moths/trap/night during post winter months indicates that H. armigera will attain its ETL a fortnight later (NWPZ, NEPZ)

Foliar sprays

As per enclosed schedule

Bird perches

30-40 perches/ha

 

Schedule for foliar sprays of insecticides for pest management

Chickpea IPM Module 

Component Operations
Field Deep ploughing (Summer)
Resistant/tolerant varieties

Varieties resistant to wilr/root rot and tolerant to Ascochyta blight. Growing mixture of tolerant and susceptible genotypes is recommended for pod borer

Seed treatment

Antagonistic fungi at 2-4 g/kg seed and vitavax 1 g/kg seed (Trichoderma @ 4 g/kg, Gliocladium @ 2 g/kg)

Intercropping and crop rotation

Mustard 6:2 (NEPZ, NWPZ), Coriander (SZ)

Sowing time

Timely sowing. Avoid delayed sowing

Monitoring

Pheromone trap @ 5 traps/ha. A catch of 4-5 male moths/trap/night during post winter months indicates that H. armigera will attain its ETL a fortnight later (NWPZ, NEPZ)

Foliar sprays

First spray with HaNPV or NSKE or Bt, second spray (if needed0 with Bt, NSKE or HaNPV

Bird perches

30-40 perches/ha
