commencing from 45 days after transplanting at 10 days interval for 3
times depending upon the intensity of disease.
Application of potash at tillering stage is also recommended.

Spray Methomyl 40 S. P. @ 2 g/liter before flowering.
Physical condition of the soil should be improved by deep digging
and adding sand/organic matter. In heavy sticky soils, gypsum @ 500
kg / ha may not be incorporated, once in two years prior to normal
fertilizer application. Adequate drainage should be provided,
Yellow leaf especially during monsoon season. Phyto-sanitary and plandisease
protection measures should be adopted to control Anabe, bud rot,
spindle bud and mite infestation. Sun-scorching of the stem should be
avoided by covering with arecanut leaves or painting with lime
slurry. Application of NPK fertilizers as per schedule along with lime
and zinc @ 8.5 g each per palm.
Spray 1% Bordeaux mixture or 3 g copper oxychloride or Metalaxyl
