For the Management of Heliothis in bengalgram follow this IPM

  1. Sow 4 rows of coriander for every 8-12 rows of bengalgram
  2. Keep '+' shaped bird perches @.50 per ha
  3. Transplant marigold seedlings @ 50 per ha randomly in the plot.
  4. Monitor with pheromone traps @ 10/ha
  5. Use neem formulations or NSKE 5%
  6. Spray NPV @ 500 LE/ha in the evening hours
  7. If IPM are not followed spray chlorpyriphos 2.5 ml/l or Quinalphos 2.0 ml/l or Acephate 1g/l or Endosulfan 2.0 m1/l using 500 1 of spray fluid per ha.

Recommendations for Rabi redgram

  1. All kharif pigeonpea varieties are suitable for rabi season also (LRG30, LRG 38, Laxmi (ICPL 85063), LRG 41, Asha (ICPL 87119), WRG 27, MRG 66).
  2. September 15 to October 15 is optimum time for sowing of rabi pigeonpea. Rabi pigeonpea can also intercropped with greengram, blackgram, soybean and groundnut as in kharif season.
  3. 1-2 irrigations are necessary for successful rabi pigeonpea in areas where north-east monsoon is not active.

Disease control in Bengalgram

Wilt

  • Seed treatment with captan or Thiram 2.5g/kg seed or Trichoderma (4g/kg). Grow resistant varieties. ICCC 37 (Kranti). ICCV 2 (Swetha), ICCV 10 (Bharati).

Dry root rot

  • Seed treatment with captan or Thiram 2.5 g/kg seed. Grow resistant variety, ICCV 10.

Stunt

  • Destruction of diseased plants. Grow resistant variety, Jyothi use optimum seed rate and maintain good population.

Post harvest technology

Storage

  • Properly dried un infested produce can be safely stored in Nylon bag, Polythene lined gunny bag even upto a period of 180 days.

Pest Control

  • Adopt IPM practices against Helicoverpa as on redgram.

    1. Sow pest tolerant varieties like LBEG 7
    2. Follow intercropping of bengalgram with coriander (1:6 or 2:6)
    3. Sow 4 rows of sorghum all round the redgrarm plot
    4. Transplant 50-100 marigold seedlings all round the redgram plot
    5. Monitoring with Pheromone traps to control the pest at right stages.
    6. Use bird perches (50/ha)
    7. Use neem formulations for insect repelling (NSKE 5%) soon after the pest occurrence.
    8. Use biocides like BT @ 1 kg/ha and NPV @ 500 LE/ha twice at an internal of 7 -10 days of the evening hours.
    9. If necessary spray Endosulfan 2 ml/l or Chlorpyriphos 2.5 m1/l or Quinolphos 2 ml/l or Quinalphos 2ml/l of Acephate 1g/l, 700-800 lts of spray fluid per ha.

Recommendations for bengalgram
  • Use higher seed rate (30 kg/ha) in late sown conditions (NN 15) under double cropping system in coastal districts.
  • Reduce the number of insecticide sprays during vegetative stage.
