Cropping sequence
Though there are no serious diseases on this crop, grain smut may be problematic sometimes, which is effectively checked by pre sowing treatment of the seeds with either Carbendazim or Carboxin @ 2g per kg seeds
Shootfly
It is the most serious pest causing significant yield losses.
Control : Early sowing with the onset of monsoon is an effective and cheapest method of control.
