Wheat Ears Emerge: Farmers Beware! Carelessness Can Ruin Crop, Essential Tricks for Care

• Wheat crop reaches ear emergence stage, crucial for grain development; slight oversight can impact production.
• Assistant Development Officer Dilip Kumar Soni advises balanced irrigation from ear emergence to grain filling, maintaining light moisture.
• Irrigate every 12-15 days in dry weather; avoid overwatering before strong winds to prevent lodging.
• Apply small amount of nitrogen if top dressing not done, but avoid excessive urea to prevent weak grains and lodging.
• Monitor for diseases like Karnal Bunt, leaf blight, rust, and pests like aphids; spray fungicides/insecticides if needed after expert consultation.
