Agriculture experts in Faisalabad have advised farmers to complete wheat cultivation by November 30 for optimal production. Delayed sowing after this date can reduce both yield and grain quality. If cultivation is delayed, farmers should use 60 kg of seed per acre and apply fertilizers, including 1.5 bags of DAP and 2-3 bags of urea, along with Sulphate of Potash for better results. Approved wheat varieties are recommended for their disease resistance and higher yields.
FAISALABAD – The agriculture experts have advised farmers to complete cultivation of wheat crop by November 30 to get a bumper production. A spokesman for the agriculture department said on Tuesday that November was the most suitable time for wheat cultivation as production of wheat and quality of grain would decrease gradually if the cultivation would be late after November.
However, farmers should use 60-kg instead of 50-kg wheat seed per acre up to December 10 if they failed to complete wheat cultivation up to November 30, he added. He advised growers to use one-and-a-half bag of DAP fertilizer and at first watering 2-3 bags of urea fertilizer. A bag of Sulphate of Potash (SOP) should also be applied for getting good produce, he added. He said farmers should cultivate approved varieties of wheat as these varieties were not only disease-resistant but also had a capacity of giving the maximum production.
