Best Management Practices ( BMP’s)• Soil Testing • Quality Seed • Appropriate seed rate • Balance Fertilizers • All Micronutrient • Right Quality and Quantity of Pesticides • Regular Advice
Traditional Practices • No soil testing • Local seed • Very high seed rate• Skewed use of Fertilizers• No Micronutrient • No Pesticides • Lack of regular advice
