For Termite: In termite infested soil, treat the seed with 1 g Cruiser 70 WS (thiamethoxam) or 2 ml Neonix 20 FS (imidacloprid+hexaconazole) or 4 ml Dursban/ Ruban/Durmet 20 EC (chlorpyriphos) per kg seed and dry it in shade. Seed treated with Neonix also control smuts of wheat. b. For Loose Smut: Treat 40 kg seed with 13 ml Raxil Easy/Orius 6 FS (tebuconazole) by dissolving in 400 ml water or 120 g Vitavax Power 75 WS (carboxin+tetramethyl thiurum disulphide) or 80 g Vitavax 75 WP (carboxin) or 40 g Tebuseed/Seedex/Exzole 2 DS (tebuconazole) per 40 kg seed. c. For Flag Smut: Treat 40 kg seed with 13 ml Orius 6 FS (tebuconazole) by dissolving in 400 ml water or 120 g Vitavax Power 75 WS (carboxin+tetramethyl thiurum disulphide) or 80 g Vitavax 75 WP (carboxin) or 40 g Tebuseed/Seedex/Exzole 2 DS (tebuconazole) per 40 kg seed Treatment should not be done earlier than one month of sowing as it affects seed germination. Seed treatment can be done effectively with the seed treating drum. d. Seed Inoculation: Consortium biofertilizer should be applied after a gap of at least 6 hours of pesticide treatment to wheat seeds. For application, inoculate recommended quantity of seed for one acre with 500 g consortium biofertilizer and one litre of water on pucca floor. Let it dry in shade and sow immediately. The use of biofertilizers increases grain yield as well as maintains/improves soil health. These biofertilizers are available with the Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana Seed Shop at Gate No. 1 and Krishi Vigyan Kendra/Farm Advisory Service Centres in different districts
