Wheat cultivation: If you want bumper production of wheat, then follow these tips
The roots of the wheat plant that was sowed during the Rabi season have begun to develop. Weeds in the field also grow quickly at this season. Weedicides are used by farmers to keep weeds away from crops. However, the wheat plant may also grow barren if proper timing and quantity are neglected.
Although the wheat plant can tolerate the effects of too much weedicide, it eventually turns barren. In other words, it does not generate grains, but it does create ears. Production is lowered as a result, and the farmer must bear significant losses.
The wheat plant will grow barren as a result of this carelessness.
1. Agricultural specialists have released guidelines on how to properly utilize medications to safeguard farmers from this condition. Dr. I.K. Kushwaha, the professor and in-charge of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, advised farmers to use weedicide 35 days after wheat is sown and 45 days before.
2. The wheat plant may develop bent ears if weedicide is applied after 40–45 days. On the other hand, ears may also begin to protrude. There won’t be any grains in the ears if weedicide is applied after 55 to 60 days, and the ears will stay bare.
Apply weed killer after this many days.
In an interview with Local 18, Professor Dr. I.K. Kushwaha and the in-charge of Krishi Vigyan Kendra said that ears begin to emerge from the plant 55–60 days after the wheat is sown. Weedicide is often used by farmers after the first watering. Farmers sometimes have to deal with situations when they apply weedicide yet the weeds do not die. The farmer then attempts to use a different medication.
However, if a farmer brother has used a weedicide to his crop within 50 to 55 days, the weedicide chemicals are causing pore development in the emerging wheat ear. Because of this, the pods will vary in size, yield less grains, and the full ear will not emerge. The farmer is confronted with this circumstance. The farmer brother should wait 30 to 35 days before using weedicide chemicals. Don’t wait.
