Mandatory Pre-Sowing Protocol

Scientific F-I-R Seed Treatment Schedule for Wheat Certified High-Yield 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)

Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% DS (Vitavax Power) or Tebuconazole 2% DS

Dosage: 2.5 g per kg seed (Carboxin+Thiram) or 1.0 g per kg seed (Tebuconazole)

Target Pathogens: Loose smut (Ustilago nuda), flag smut, and Karnal bunt

Step 2: Insecticide (I)

Chlorpyrifos 20% EC or Thiamethoxam 30% FS

Dosage: 4.0 ml/kg seed (Chlorpyrifos) or 2.0 ml/kg seed (Thiamethoxam)

Target Pests: Termites (deemak) and early shoot fly in dry soil

Step 3: Biofertilizer (R)

Azotobacter chroococcum & PSB culture

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

Symbiotic Benefits: Fixes 15–20 kg atmospheric Nitrogen per acre and solubilizes native rock phosphate

Government Financial Assistance

National Food Security Mission (NFSM-Wheat)

Eligible farmers organized in cluster seed villages receive up to 50% DBT subsidy capped at ₹1500 per quintal on foundation and certified seed.

Distribution Agency: State Department of Agriculture & Primary Agricultural Co-op Societies (PACS)
Post-Harvest Seed Care

Seed Storage & Safe Keeping Tips

  • Seed moisture must not exceed 10% during hot summer storage in metal silos or airtight drums.
  • Add 2 aluminum phosphide tablets per metric ton of seed in airtight storage to prevent rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) attack.
  • Calibrate seed-cum-fertilizer drill to ensure seeds are placed at exactly 4 to 5 cm depth.

Frequently Asked Questions for Wheat Certified High-Yield Seeds

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When wheat is sown after November 25th (following sugarcane or basmati rice harvest), cold winter temperatures shorten the tillering window. Increasing seed rate by 25% compensates for fewer tillers per plant and maintains optimum earhead counts per square meter.
