Things to keep in mind after sowing wheat crop

WHEAT (Jointing): Wheat cultivar PBW 757 can be sown up to first fortnight of January under irrigated conditions.

• Manage rodent pests in wheat crop sown with Happy Seeder by burrow baiting with 2% zinc phosphide twice at an interval of 10-15 days after sowing of crop (a week before or after irrigation).
• Use only recommended dose of weedicide for effective control of Phalaris minor in wheat crops.
• If yellowing of leaves appears due to manganese deficiency in wheat crop, spray the crop with manganese sulphate.
• If symptoms of sulphur deficiency noticed, broadcast one quintal gypsum/acre followed by light irrigation or if the soil is in proper moisture condition, this may be mixed by hoeing.
• Regularly survey the wheat crop for the occurrence of yellow rust. If symptoms appeared then spray Custodia/Caviet/Opera/Tilt/Stilt/Bumper/Shine/Markzole @0.1% or Nativo @ 0.06 % after weather clears up.
