Wheat Crop Weakening? NPK, Borax Use Critical for Strong Grains
- •Wheat grains can weaken, shrivel, and thin, leading to a 20-40% production drop and reduced farmer income.
- •Nutrient deficiencies (nitrogen, potash, zinc, sulfur) and crop diseases are primary causes for thin grains.
- •Agricultural officer Bhagwati Prasad Maurya advises timely nutrient application, especially during the tillering/jointing stage.
- •A spray mixture of Ifco Sagarika, Borax, and NPK can improve grain filling, thickness, and productive capacity.
- •Crucially, these treatments must be applied only during the tillering/jointing stage; spraying during flowering can damage the crop.
Why It Matters: Timely and correct application of NPK, Borax, and other nutrients is vital for strong wheat grains and high yield.
