Seeds required  4-5 kg/ac
Sees treatment :
Seeds will be soaked in 2% calcium chloride solution for 6 ml/kg of seeds  before the sowing for about 7 hrs and shade dried.
Seeds are coated with micronutrients like sulphate, potassium and molybdenum 

 Later seed dressing with microbial fertilizers Rhizobium or PSB (Phosphate solubilising Bacteria) or PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) 
Chemical Fertilizers:
Application of recommended dosage of NPK @10:20:8
50% of N can be applied at the time of sowing.
Sowing :
	Treated seed can be sown with spacing 90 30 cm.
MONITORING :
         Placing of pheromone traps @5 per ha. to attract the male moths from Sept. to Dec..
ETL- 5 moths per trap for 3 consecutive days.
Two eggs or one larvae per plant
BIRD PERCHES : 
             Erecting the bird perches @ 20 per Ha.
Helps in bird sitting to locate the larvae. 
Live Bird Perches :
                   Black Drongo A-Predatory bird can feed 25-30 larvae  per day.
Sorghum / Pundi acts as live bird perches (mixed crop).
