Expert's suggestions for wheat crop in the month of February

Apply second irrigation to December sown wheat. Wheat plants affected with flag smut should be rouged out and burnt. Special attention should be given in Ropar and Hoshiarpur areas. Observe the wheat fields for appearance of yellow rust. As soon as the disease appears, spray the crop with Caviet @ 200g or Nativo @ 120g or Opera or Tilt or Shine or Bumper or Stilt or Compass or Markzole @ 200 ml in 200 litres of water per acre. Repeat the spray at 15 days interval. Observe the fields for appearance of aphids, if the population reached the economic threshold level (ETL) i.e. 5 aphids/earhead, spray the crop with 20g Actara/Taiyo 25 WG (thiamethoxam) in 80-100 liter of water per acre.
