| Kvk-Leh’s advisory for wheat growers | | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 15: Krishi Vigyan Kendra-Leh has released an advisory for wheat crop for farming community of Ladakh region. Dr. D. Namgyal, Head KVK-Leh said that it is the time for sowing of wheat in this region, so farmers are advised to plough the field several times to break all the clods, removal of all weeds and stubbles.
“If possible, manuring of the field should also be done. Well decomposed Farm Yard Manure (FYM) at the rate of 20-25t/ha gives very good results in terms of yield and soil health. Seed should be sown generally in shallow furrows and should be placed 5 to 7 cm deep to ensure proper germination. Wheat sown under irrigated conditions requires 4 to 6 irrigations depending on the soil and weather conditions,” said Dr. Namgyal.
Dr. Namgyal said that for weed management cultural practices such as use of clean seeds, better varieties, early sowing, proper placement of seed and basal dose of fertilizers 2-3 cm below seed, removing weeds before sowing, keeping bunds and irrigation channels free from weeds should be done. Wheat is also susceptible to many insect pests and diseases. The Mechanical control includes removal of weeds manually or by implements. However, mechanical control is too tedious.
Dr. Parveen Kumar, Subject Matter Specialist at KVK-Leh said that as the Union territory of Ladakh is on the way to become totally organic under its Mission Organic Development Initiative (MODI) by 2025, the farming community of this region is further advised to go for cultural control methods that are devoid of any chemicals. |
