Weather advice during milking stage in Wheat

Apply light irrigation to the crop to protect it from the adverse effect of high temperatures when weather clears up. The farmers can also apply two sprays of 2% Potassium nitrate (13:0:45) by dissolving 4 kg potassium nitrate in 200 litres of water at boot leaf and anthesis stages or two sprays of salicylic acid by dissolving 15 gram salicylic acid in 450 ml of ethyl alcohol using 200 litres of water per acre at boot leaf and early milk stages to mitigate the effect of high temperature at grain filling and enhance the wheat yield.
