Scientific F-I-R Seed Treatment Schedule for Green Gram / Moong Certified Seeds

Always follow the exact sequence: Fungicide (F) → Insecticide (I) → Rhizobium / Biofertilizer (R). Mixing chemicals with biofertilizers together kills live beneficial cultures.

Step 1: Fungicide (F)

Carbendazim 50% WP + Thiram 75% WS (1:1 ratio) or Trichoderma viride

Dosage: 2.5 g per kg seed (Chemical) or 10 g per kg seed (Trichoderma)

Target Pathogens: Macrophomina root rot, damping-off, and web blight

Step 2: Insecticide (I)

Imidacloprid 70% WS or Thiamethoxam 30% FS

Dosage: 4.0 g/kg seed (Imidacloprid) or 3.0 ml/kg seed (Thiamethoxam)

Target Pests: Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) vector that transmits Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV)

Step 3: Biofertilizer (R)

Rhizobium (Phaseolus strain) & PSB

Dosage: 10 g per kg seed with 10% jaggery syrup

Symbiotic Benefits: Rapid biological nodulation fixing 30 kg Nitrogen per acre in 60 days

Government Financial Assistance
