Rise in temperature speeding up the growth stages of wheat || Crop reformer

Potash and boron are needed more frequently during the pollination and grain-filling stage. In this video, we have advised the farmers to manage the application of these nutrients well in time at the booting stage. Which is the better source of these essential elements? No dual SOP and boric acid may conventionally be recommended, but we have advised that farmers have the choice to use NPK 13:02:43, which is pure potassium nitrate and internationally considered the best source of potassium for flood, Speedfol K (10:10:40) for spray, and Bordox Super of Swat Agro is the best source of sprayable boron. The booting stage is one of the most important stages in the life cycle of the wheat crop. At this stage, food prepared by leaves of plants moves towards fruit for storage purposes. The deficiency of potash and boron at this stage slows down this process, and the fruit does not get all the required food available in the plant. The production technology of wheat is evolving with the passage of time. If we are successful in completing the nutrient requirements of a plant, it will give us maximum output in the form of higher production and yield. In this video, we have suggested that wheat crops may tend to lodge at the booting stage of their life cycle. Farmers should try their best to avoid lodging at this crucial stage. Light irrigation should be applied in accordance with the weather forecast. Irrigation should be applied before the initiation of the wilting stage. Windy days should be skipped, and irrigation should be applied during calm weather. Additional application of potash is considered very essential at this critical stage in the production technology of the wheat crop to get a higher yield. It improves the health, growth, and development of spikes. Fertigation of Ultrasol (13-2-43) or Nitro Potash (FMC) @ 10 kg per acre is recommended to avoid lodging and for maximum translocation of photosynthates from leaves to the spikes of the wheat crop. If fertigation is not possible, a spray of Speedfol K (10-10-40) may be managed for the same purpose. It has also been stressed that submissive prayer to Allah Almighty is the most important tool to avoid wheat lodging at this stage. Late-sown wheat should be fertilised and sprayed with the right herbicide. It has been suggested that after the addition of 75 kg each of urea and DAP fertiliser to timely planted wheat, there is no need for supplemental nutrition at this stage. It has been highlighted in this video that either Nitro potash fertiliser (FMC) or 25 kg each of SOP and urea fertiliser must be flooded at the booting stage of wheat. It is recommended in this video that if a farmer has used a suitable amount of fertilisers at the initial stages of the wheat crop, then there is no need for an additional application of fertilisers at this stage. Already applied fertilisers will perform their task in grooming the crop and will be sufficient for proper growth and development of the crop at later essential stages of the crop. If some sort of deficiency is present in the application of nutrients at the initial stages, then there should be an additional need for nutrient application at the booting stage. The foliar form of fertilisers is recommended in this video. Some alternate products are advised in this clip. Proper herbicide application should be completed in time before the booting stage. Improvement of plant health by using different supplements plays a major role in getting a higher yield of wheat. It is generally recommended that use of additional nitrogen should be avoided after the completion of tillering to the booting stages in wheat crops. This is recommended to escape lodging and to minimise the incidence of rust and aphids. During this particular season of wheat crop, a shortage of urea fertiliser was faced, and many farmers could not apply it well in time. Resultantly, the crop condition of such, I mean urea-affected farmers, is not bumper this year. In this video, we have suggested that farmers having lesser germination or sparse canopy due to less tillering can make proper use of nitrogen even in the form of urea fertiliser at the booting stage. However, farmers having a bumper crop are advised not to apply nitrogen, especially in the form of urea fertiliser. Such farmers may add potash and supplementary nitrogen in the form of slow-releasing calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN). Nitrogen is the major nutrient for better growth and development of the wheat crop to get the maximum yield of the crop. It is an essential part of the production technology of wheat.
