Study revealed that seed treatment with Carbendazim @3gm/kg seed, seedling root dip with Pseudomonas species 10gm /lit of water, application of Carbofuran granules @160g/cent nursery, installation of pheromone traps, formation of alley ways and need based application of fertilizers and pesticides reduced the pest like Stem borer, BPH, Leaf folder and Blast disease significantly compared to farmers practice. Mean higher yield was recorded in demo field 6065 kg/ha compared to 5795 kg/ha in check, and showed 4.6 per cent yield increases in demonstration fields.
