Deoghar Scientist: Urea & Zinc Crucial After Wheat's First Irrigation

• Agricultural scientist advises farmers on key practices for Rabi crops, especially wheat.
• First irrigation for wheat should be done 21-25 days after sowing, coinciding with tillering.
• Apply Urea after the first irrigation to promote plant growth, greenness, and strong stems.
• Zinc sulfate is also crucial to prevent yellowing, strengthen roots, and encourage branching.
• Skipping Urea and Zinc after first irrigation can lead to reduced yield, smaller grains, and yellow leaves.

Why It Matters: Farmers can prevent crop loss and boost wheat yield with proper post-irrigation care.
