Wheat Crop Under Threat: 'Silent Killer' Karnal Bunt Looms, Farmers Urged to Act

• Karnal Bunt, Alternaria Blight, and Yellow Rust pose a significant threat to wheat crops, impacting quality and yield.
• Karnal Bunt, dubbed a 'silent killer,' blackens grains, emits a fish-like odor, and destroys export quality.
• Agricultural experts advise immediate spraying of Propiconazole 25% EC upon symptom appearance to protect crops.
• For effective control, spray 500 ml of Propiconazole 25% EC in 500-600 liters of water per hectare, preferably in the evening.
• Proper nutrition with N.P.K. 0:52:34 or 0:0:50 and Boron 20% during ear emergence and grain filling ensures strong, shiny grains and bumper production.
