Boost Wheat Yield: Gap Filling After First Irrigation is Essential

• Farmers should inspect wheat fields during the first irrigation for uneven germination.
• "Gap filling" (re-sowing seeds in empty spots) is crucial during the first irrigation to ensure optimal plant density and prevent yield reduction.
• Agricultural experts emphasize that sufficient plant count is key to good wheat yield.
• For gap filling, identify empty spots after the first irrigation, make small furrows, place seeds, and cover with soil.
• Avoid using different wheat varieties for gap filling to prevent mixing and maintain market value.

Why It Matters: Farmers can maximize wheat yield by correctly performing gap filling after irrigation.
