Control measure: To control the disease, care should be taken from the beginning right from seeds’ selection. Select healthy and unblemished kernels. Before sowing, seed treatment should be done with Thiram (75%)@5 gm or Indofil M-45 (75%)@3 gm/kg of kernels. Spray the crop with Wettable Sulphur 50 WP@ 500-750 gm/200-300 litres of water per acre. Give 3 or 4 sprays at fortnight intervals, starting from the first week of August. Alternatively, spray the irrigated crop with Carbendazim 50 WP@500gm/200 litres of water per acre. Give three sprays at fortnight intervals, starting when the crop is 40 days old.
