Boost Mustard Yield: Stop Spraying, Add Bees for Fuller Pods!

• Mustard flowers in Saharanpur, Western Uttar Pradesh, are breaking, impacting pod formation and yield.
• Avoid chemical sprays during flowering; they damage delicate flowers and deter crucial pollinators like bees.
• Dr. I.K. Kushwaha of Krishi Vigyan Kendra advises installing at least two beehives for better pollination and honey production.
• Nutrient deficiency and absence of bees are primary reasons for poor pod development, according to Local 18.
• Rain or spraying during flowering washes away pollen, reducing seed formation; ensure no disturbance in the field.

Why It Matters: For strong mustard yield, avoid sprays during flowering and ensure bee pollination with beehives.
