Description
This pamphlet educates farmers on two major wheat diseases- earcockle and tundu, caused by nematodes and bacteria. It explains their life cycle, symptoms, and impact on yield and grain quality. Earcockle leads to malformed grains called galls, while tundu results in slimy, sterile spikes. The document emphasizes preventive seed treatment methods, especially using brine or salt solutions, and recommends crop rotation to break the nematode lifecycle. Published by Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India.
