  2. SEED * Seed is the mother of Plant * Disease free & healthy seed will always produce disease free Plants • To make mother (Seed) healthy, treat seeds with • fungicides /insecticides / rhizobium

  3. Sources of Infection in Seeds Disease and pest infected seed/crop , Improper Post harvest handling, Faulty seed extraction methods, Soil born pests / diseases Infected seeds Infected seedlings Soybean (Purple Seed Stain Cercospora sp.) Groundnut (Sclerotium spp)

  4. Treated Untreated Benefits of Seed Treatment • Protects germinating seeds and seedlings from soil and seed borne pathogens / insects • Seed germination enhancement. Seed treated soybean crop

  5. Benefits of Seed Treatment • Uniform crop stand, even in adverse conditions • (less/high moisture) Seed treated Groundnut crop Untreated Treated

  6. Benefits of Seed Treatment • Early and uniform establishment and growth • Enhances nodulation in legume crop. • Better than soil and foliar application.

  7. Major seed and soil borne diseases and pests of different crops

  8. Major seed and soil borne diseases and pests of different crops

  9. Strategy Proposed • Campaign mode • Participation of Multiple agencies ( Public / Private) • Involvement of PRIs • Appropriate communication strategy • Availability of appropriate chemical, bio-pesticides • Training and awareness in methods of seed treatment

  10.

  15. Quality control of Pesticides • Improved output of SPTLs • Add more SPTLs and NABL accreditation • Training of analysts at NPPTI, Hyderabad • Sophisticated analytical equipments • Educate farmers on judicious and safe use of pesticides • Delete label claims as per GOI Notifications, conditions of RC
