-
Wheat cultivation is in progress in most of the irrigated areas. Farmers of irrigated areas should irrigate the crop as per requirement due to dry weather prevailing in most of the irrigated agricultural plains of the country. Normally first irrigation is given after 20-25 days after sowing.
- Farmers of irrigated plains of Punjab, Sindh & KP are advised to complete sowing of wheat crop before 15th December to get maximum yield. In case of late sowing in December, the recommended varities should be cultivated to minimize the expected loss in yield.
- Farmers of barani areas are advised to remove weeds from the fields, so that the present soil moisture may fully be utilized.
- Falling of leaves has started from trees beside wheat & other Rabi crops. Farmers should collect leaves from the crops as early as possible so that crop normal growth may not be disturbed.
