Protection against seed rot, collar rot (Aspergillus), and root-cutting white grubs.

Targets:Collar Rot (Aspergillus niger)White Grub (Holotrichia consanguinea)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 kernelN/A (Dry Seed Dressing)Protects delicate groundnut kernels from fungal rotting in warm soil
Chlorpyriphos 20% ECInsecticideDursban1.5 Litre per acre mixed in irrigation or furrow sandN/A (Soil Application)Controls white grub beetles in sandy soils of Saurashtra and Rajasthan
Mixing Warning: Handle peanut seed kernels gently; damaged seed coats fail to germinate.
Expert Tip: In white grub endemic areas, apply Chlorpyriphos or Fipronil into furrows before sowing.

Stage 2: Pegging Stage & Tikka Leaf Spot Defense

150L Water (10 Tanks/Acre)

Pegs (gynophores) enter soil to form pods. Humid monsoon conditions trigger devastating Tikka Leaf Spot (circular brown spots with yellow halos).

Targets:Early & Late Tikka Leaf Spot (Cercospora arachidicola)RustSpodoptera
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:
Input & Technical MoleculePopular ExampleDose per AcrePer 15L KnapsackAgronomic Role
Hexaconazole 5% + Captan 70% WPFungicideTaqat300g in 150L water30gDual systemic + contact action stops Tikka spots and defoliation
NPK 19:19:19 100% Water SolubleWater Soluble NPK19:19:191 kg in 150L water100gMaintains functional leaf area for carbohydrate production
Mixing Warning: Apply Gypsum (200 kg/acre) as a soil broadcast around plant base at 45 DAS alongside this spray.
Expert Tip: Gypsum (Calcium Sulphate) application at 45 DAS is mandatory in groundnut. Calcium is absorbed directly by underground pegs to prevent empty "Pops" (unfilled shells).

Stage 3: Pod Filling & Bold Kernel Development

200L Water (13 Tanks/Acre)

Pod development underground. Maintain green leaf canopy until harvest and enhance shelling percentage and oil content.

Targets:Late Tikka SpotRust (Puccinia arachidis)Empty Pods (Pops)
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: Groundnut / Peanut Spraying

Pops (empty pods without kernels) are caused by Calcium deficiency in the top 5 cm peg zone. Broadcast Gypsum @ 200 kg/acre at 40-45 DAS near the root zone and hoe it lightly into the soil.
