Boost Wheat Yield: Scientist Recommends Potash for Bumper Harvest in Hazaribagh

• Wheat crops in Hazaribagh district are currently in the crucial grain-filling stage, requiring special nutritional attention for quality and yield.
• Dr. Arvind Singh, an agricultural scientist at ICSECT University Hazaribagh, advises using potash-rich fertilizers to enhance grain growth and weight.
• Farmers can spray 1 kg soluble potash dissolved in 200 liters of water per acre or broadcast 8-10 kg dry potash per acre.
• Potash makes plants robust and improves grain development; for yellow leaves, spray magnesium sulfate and zinc mixture.
• Avoid excessive urea to prevent crop lodging and ensure better yield and financial benefits through proper nutrition management.
