Critical stages:

Dual purpose varieties:

Initiation of grand growth stage (20-25 DAS)

Flag-leaf stage or boot stage (50-55 DAS)

Flowering stage (70-75 DAS)

Grain-filling stage (90-100 DAS)

In case water is available for providing irrigation at all four stages, it would be

advantageous. In case of limited water availability, it should be given at the flower

primordial initiation stage (30-35 DAS) followed by flowering stage (70-75 DAS).

Multicut varieties:

Irrigation at 15-20 DAS and subsequent irrigation at an interval of 10-15 days. Crop

should be irrigated immediately after each cut.

PoP for pearl millet …

Water management :

Convert part of the land into catchment area to harvest rain water

and use it to provide protective irrigation at flag-leaf /grain-filling

stages to avoid moisture stress situation.

Uproot every third row and use it as mulch in case of prolonged

(30 to 40 days) drought before flowering.

Apply dust mulching after rains to manage weeds and conserve

soil moisture


control:

Downy mildew: Ridomil 25 WP (1000 ppm) 20 DAS; Use more

than one hybrid/improved variety in the same year or rotate

hybrids/improved varieties in alternate years to check the spread

of downy mildew.

Shoot fly: Early planting with the onset of monsoon has

effectively controlled shoot fly incidence and two dusting of

malathion 5% dust @ 25 kg/ha at 10 and 20 DAG or two sprays

of neem oil (with 4 gm soap/lit of water) 0.05% or two sprayings
