You start chemical application from the flowering stage until pod formation. Make application routine. There are many chemicals available but best action seems to be the best I know of. it's expensive though.

I'll suggest you search for all those seed companies online and call them e.g premier seed and see if they have any. Am sure they'll have a representative in keffi or Karu.

Or you can ask among local farmers around you.
