WHEAT: Farmers are advised to start sowing wheat varieties PBW 826, PBW 869, PBW 824, PBW 803, Sunehri (PBW 766), PBW 1 Chapati, DBW 222, DBW 187, HD 3226, Unnat PBW 343, Unnat PBW 550, PBW 1 Zn, PBW 725, PBW 677, HD 3086, WH 1105, HD 2967 and durum wheat WHD 943 and PDW 291 under irrigated conditions.
Treat 40 Kg seed with Raxil easy/ orius @13 ml (dissolve in 400 ml of water ) or Tebuseed or Seedex or Exzole @ 40 g Or vitavax power @120 g or vitavax @ 80g.
In termite-infested fields, treat the seed with 1 g Cruiser 70 WS or 2 ml Neonix 20 FS or 4 ml Dursban/Ruban/Durmet 20 EC per kg seed and dry in shade. Seed treated with Neonix also controls smuts of wheat.
