Continue the sowing of very late sown varieties viz. (PBW-373, WH1021, Raj-3077, Raj-3765), with 50 % enhanced seed rate and reducing
nitrogen dose by 25%. Treat the seed with carboxin/carbendazim @
2g/kg or tebuconazole @ 1.25g/kg of seed
Sowing of wheat var WH-1080, Raj-3077 at optimum soil moisture
with enhanced seed rate 125 kg/ha.

Hoeing, weeding and thinning operation in very late sown mustard crop
in order to keep the crop free from weed.
Weather condition are congenial for Aphid in early sown mustard crop
under such situation spray Chlorpyriphos 20EC @ 0.05% or

Maintain 85%-90% relative humidity inside the growing room.
Provide proper ventilation in the cropping room.
