| SL. No. | DAYS | ACTIVITIES |

| 1 | 6 days before seeding | Spraying of Glyophosate @ 1 kg a.i./ha / Pre- plant application of Pendimethalin(45ml/tank) 3 days before sowing |
| 2 | On the day of seeding |
Sowing with Zero Till Drill ( Seed rate 7.5kg/ha with dry dry vermicompost @60kg/ha OR Surface seeding if possible depending on soil moisture |
| 3 | On the day of seeding | Fertilizer application through Zero till drill @ N-P-K (10-26-26) @150 kg / ha |
| 4 | On the day of seeding | Cutting rice stubbles (mulching); Light irrigation if needed |
| 5 | 1-2 days after seeding | Spraying of Pendimethalin @ 1kg a.i./ha |
| 6 | 15-20 days after seeding | Irrigation + First top dressing (Urea 90kg/ha) |

- Use Flat Fan Nozzle while spraying herbicides
- For mixing two separate herbicides,stock solution has to be prepared before mixing the herbicides in tank
- The dates in the protocols can be modified based on location
- Previous crop residues should be retained at least @ 5t/ha
- For surface seeding of mustard/lentil, soil moisture are to be assured; otherwise, it Will be followed by light irrigation
- Mulching with previous rice straw in mustard or lentil helps to conserve moisture and at the same time reduces the weed pressure
- If white rust appears at the initial stage Metalaxyl + Mancozeb @ 2% may be used.
