ICAR issues advisory to wheat farmers to complete sowing by Dec 25
As many farmers are planting wheat very late this year due to delayed harvesting of sugarcane, cotton, paddy, mustard and potato, Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR) has advised some varieties best suited for each State which needs to be completed by December 25. The Centre has been taking many steps including fixing a target to cover 60 per area under climate resilient varieties in view of prediction of a warmer than normal winter.
