Stage 1: Seed Treatment & Inoculation

Crucial defense against Fusarium wilt and root rot that cause sudden plant collapse after 3 weeks.

Targets:Fusarium Wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris)Collar RotDry Root Rot
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:
Input & Technical MoleculePopular ExampleDose per AcrePer 15L KnapsackAgronomic Role
Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% DSFungicideVitavax Power2.5g per kg seedN/A (Seed Dressing)Internal systemic eradicant of seed-borne wilt spores
Mesorhizobium ciceri Liquid CultureBio-stimulantChana Rhizobium10 ml per kg seedN/A (Bio-Inoculant)Establishes high-efficiency pink root nodules to fix atmospheric nitrogen
Mixing Warning: Treat with Vitavax first, shade dry for 1 hour, then coat with Rhizobium culture.
Expert Tip: Never skip seed treatment in chickpea. Fusarium wilt cannot be cured by spraying once it enters through roots.

35-40 DASTarget Date: 18 Dec 2026

Stage 2: Branching & Early Defoliator Defense

150L Water (10 Tanks/Acre)

Rapid secondary branching. Nipping/topping apical buds stimulates lateral branches. Early semilooper defoliation starts.

Targets:Gram SemilooperEarly Pod Borer LarvaeAscochyta Blight
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:
Input & Technical MoleculePopular ExampleDose per AcrePer 15L KnapsackAgronomic Role
Emamectin Benzoate 5% SGInsecticideProclaim80g in 150L water8gQuick knockdown of young instar caterpillar larvae
NPK 19:19:19 100% Water SolubleWater Soluble NPK19:19:191 kg in 150L water100gStimulates lateral fruiting branch proliferation
Mixing Warning: Proclaim and 19:19:19 are fully compatible.
Expert Tip: Nip (pinch off) the top 2-3 cm apical shoot at 35 DAS. This breaks apical dominance, triggering 4–6 additional fertile branches per plant.

Stage 3: Peak Flowering to Pod Boring (Ghati Kida Shield)

200L Water (13 Tanks/Acre)

The most decisive spray. Helicoverpa armigera (Ghati Kida) bores holes into green pods and eats seeds from inside.

Targets:Gram Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera)Pod DropBotrytis Grey Mold
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:

Mixing Warning: Coragen, 0:52:34, and Boron are fully tank-mixable.
Expert Tip: Install "T-shaped" bird perches (15 per acre) in the chickpea field. Birds like drongos land on them and eat thousands of pod borer larvae naturally.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: Gram / Chickpea (Chana) Spraying

Spray Coragen (60 ml/acre) at 50% flowering to early pod initiation (60 DAS) when caterpillars are small (1st-2nd instar). Once caterpillars grow large and enter pods, chemical efficacy drops.
