Have any effective management practice or application for controlling termite in chickpea where no irrigation facilities (rainfed crop). Please suggest which are effective and feasible for farmers
Dr. Jhumar Lal Chickpea is an important crop in the rainfed areas of the country. For better production and control of termites, the seeds should be treated with imidachloprid @3 ml/kg seed at the time of sowing. Later on for spot termite control in patches can be done with imidachloprid @4ml/15 litre water.
