Wheat Sowing Guide
Best practices for wheat sowing.
Kharif Rice: Prepare Nursery Beds
Start rice nursery preparation. Use certified seeds (HD varieties). Treat seeds with Carbendazim 2g/kg before sowing. Maintain 5cm water in nursery.
Rice Transplanting & Water Management
Transplant 25-30 day old seedlings with 2-3 seedlings per hill. Maintain 5-7cm standing water. Apply first dose of Urea (1/3) within 7 days.
Rice Pest Alert: Stem Borer & BPH
Monitor for stem borer (dead hearts) and Brown Plant Hopper. Install light traps. If ETL exceeds threshold, apply Cartap Hydrochloride 4G @ 25kg/ha.
Kharif Rice Harvesting Guidelines
Harvest when 80% grains turn golden. Drain water 7-10 days before harvest. Dry paddy to 14% moisture before storage.
Kharif Maize Sowing Advisory
Sow maize (varieties: Suwan, DHM-117) at 60cm x 25cm spacing. Apply 120kg N, 60kg P2O5, 40kg K2O per hectare. Use seed treatment.
Rabi Wheat Sowing: Recommended Varieties
Sow HD-2967, HD-3086, or PBW-343. Use 100kg seed/ha. Seed treatment with Vitavax Power 2g/kg. Apply DAP 120kg + MOP 60kg as basal dose.
Wheat Crown Root Initiation Irrigation
Give first irrigation (CRI stage) 21 days after sowing. This is the most critical irrigation. Apply 1/3 Urea after first irrigation.
Wheat: Apply Second Dose of Nitrogen
Apply 2nd split of Urea (1/3) at tillering stage (45-50 days). Mix with neem-coated urea for better efficiency. Do not apply if heavy rain expected.
Paddy Storage: Prevent Grain Loss
Dry paddy to 14% moisture. Store in hermetic bags or metal bins. Use Aluminium Phosphide tablets for large storage. Check for rodent damage.
Wheat: Watch for Yellow Rust
Monitor for yellow stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis). If spotted, spray Propiconazole 25 EC @ 0.1%. Report to nearest KVK for advisory.
