Azamgarh Expert: Wheat's First Irrigation Crucial 20-25 Days After Sowing

• The first irrigation for wheat should be done 20-25 days after sowing.
• Timely irrigation is crucial; both early and late irrigation can harm the crop.
• After irrigation, apply 40-50 kg of urea per acre to promote plant growth, as nitrogen is highly needed at this stage.
• Before irrigating, farmers should check soil moisture and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
• Regularly check for weeds and pests, as excessive weeds can negatively impact crop yield.

Why It Matters: This helps farmers optimize wheat irrigation timing for maximum yield.
