Wheat Leaves Yellowing? Expert Tips for Farmers to Boost Yield

• Farmers in Sagar district report widespread yellowing of wheat leaves, affecting crops 45-75 days old.
• Dr. K.S. Yadav from Sagar Krishi Vigyan Kendra attributes yellowing to nutrient deficiencies (zinc, sulfur, phosphorus, nitrogen) and diseases.
• Farmers should irrigate every 20-25 days and apply fertilizer; for 40-45 day old crops with sprinkler irrigation, spray 40 kg urea per acre.
• If yellowing persists after urea application, it could indicate micronutrient deficiency or blight disease, requiring immediate consultation with agricultural experts.
• For blight disease (fungal), spray Tebuconazole plus Sulfur (1ml/liter) or Mancozeb and Carbendazim (2ml/3 liters) solution.

Why It Matters: Address wheat leaf yellowing promptly through proper irrigation, nutrient application, and expert consultation for diseases.
