•Rising temperatures above 32°C in Madhya Pradesh's Vindhya region during the grain-filling stage are causing heat stress, impacting wheat yield and quality.
•Agricultural experts advise spraying 2% potassium nitrate (13:00:45) to increase heat tolerance and improve grain filling, using 2.5 kg in 125 liters of water per bigha.
•Maintaining soil moisture through light irrigation is crucial, but avoid excessive watering to prevent waterlogging and do not irrigate during strong winds to prevent crop lodging.
•Farmers are urged to monitor weather updates and consult agricultural experts to mitigate potential losses at harvest time.
