Darbhanga Farmer's Secret: High Wheat Yields with Less Water & Cost

• A Darbhanga farmer achieves better wheat yields using less water and lower costs during the Rabi season.
• The method, learned from ancestors, involves only one irrigation (or none if rain) 22 days after sowing, unlike typical 2-4 irrigations.
• Balanced fertilizer use includes 1 kg DAP and 1 kg Urea per Katha, mixed with seeds during sowing.
• Urea helps retain soil moisture, while DAP strengthens roots, preventing crop lodging and improving grain development.
• This ancestral technique offers a sustainable model for effective wheat cultivation amidst water scarcity.
