Wheat Farming: Urea Application & Irrigation Timing Crucial for Healthy Crops

• Dr. Kamlesh Ahirwar advises against applying all fertilizer at once, as it negatively impacts wheat crops.
• Farmers often apply 50-60 kg of urea in one go, which is excessive and harmful for young plants.
• Apply 20-25 kg of urea per acre during each irrigation cycle, which should occur every 21 days.
• Second irrigation is crucial during the flowering stage, 21 days after the first.
• Third irrigation is needed when grains start forming milk, and fourth when grains are semi-ripe.

Why It Matters: Proper urea application and timely irrigation are vital for optimal wheat crop growth and yield.
