Advisory for farmers cultivating Wheat and Oil Seeds

WHEAT- Farmers can start harvesting of early sown wheat as clear weather is expected during coming days.

  • Farmers are advised to apply light irrigation to wheat crop as per requirement so that water stress may not affect the yield of the crop adversely.
  • In wheat crop, the ear heads of gulli danda plants should be removed/cut with the sickle or any other method, before they produce viable seeds.
  • The adoption of this practice will significantly decrease gulli danda in next season wheat crop.

OILSEEDS- As clear weather is expected during coming days, farmers can start harvesting of mustard.
