SEED TREATMENT
Losses due to insect infestations and fungal damage can be heavy, unless effective control measures are maintained constantly. An effective control programme includes sanitation of seed and effective measures to keep pests and diseases out of the seed. Every certifiable seed may be treated with seed treatment chemical to keep the seed for long time without damage.
