Wheat Harvest: Don't Just Look at Yellow! Expert Shares Key Checks for Farmers

• Agricultural expert Devendra Nagpure advises farmers on crucial checks before harvesting wheat, emphasizing that yellow color alone doesn't mean ripeness.
• Ensure 85-90% of the crop has turned yellow to confirm maturity.
• Check grain moisture: it should be 15-20%. A 'snap' sound when biting a grain indicates readiness.
• During threshing, avoid wearing loose clothes to prevent accidents with machinery.
• Do not burn stubble; instead, deep-plow with a rotavator to enrich soil and prevent pollution.
