• Dr. Kamlesh Ahirwar advises generating smoke in fields at night and light irrigation to protect crops from frost.
• Spray 2.5 grams of sulfur dissolved in one liter of water to mitigate temperature effects and boost disease resistance.
• For yellowing wheat leaves (due to cold affecting nitrogen absorption), spray 2 kg urea dissolved in 100 liters of water.
