WHEAT

CULTIVATION PROCESS OF WHEAT

TILLAGE

In wheat farming specifically, zero tillage has been shown to reduce erosion by 90%, increase water infiltration by 50%, and improve soil organic matter by 30-50%. This technique also requires less labor, fuel, and machinery, resulting in cost savings for farmers.


SPREADING COMPOST

In this process, aerobic microorganisms break down organic matter and produce carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia, water, heat and humus, the relatively stable organic end product. Although aerobic composting may produce intermediate compounds such as organic acids, aerobic micro-organisms decompose them further


BROADCASTING SEEDS

i) The seed is broadcasted and covered by giving harrowing. ii) This method is followed in the north India on light alluvial soil having sufficient moisture in the surface layer. iii) This method is inefficient because of poor germination and irregular plant stand


PUTTING A THIN SOIL LAYER OVER THE SEEDS

Plough the land twice with an iron plough and three times with cultivator and prepare the land to a fine tilth.At last ploughing add 12 tons of Farm yard manure with 5 kg of biofertilizer, 5 kg of Trichoderma and 5 kg of Pseudomonas per hectare


WATERING

The crop requires 4 - 6 irrigations depending on the soil type and rainfall. Wheat crop requires minimum of 5 irrigations at the following critical stages. Crown root initiation and flowering are the most critical stages. Water stagnation should be avoided at the time of germination
