Sowing


Time of sowing :

For securing optimum yield, wheat should be sown well in time. Optimum sowing times for different agro-climatic zones of the State are as under :

Zone Timely sown Late sown
  Irrigated Rainfed Irrigated Rainfed
Low hills Last week of Oct-15 Nov. Last week of Oct - Mid Nov Upto end of December Depends upon the rainfall but should not be delayed beyond end of December
Mid hills Last week of Oct-15 Nov. Last week of Oct - Mid Nov Upto end of December Depends upon the rainfall but should not be delayed beyond end of December
High hills 1 st Oct-15 th October 1 st Oct-15 th October Upto 15 th Oct Upto 15 th Oct

Delayed sowings result in gradual decline in yield.

Method of sowing :



Farmers generally sow wheat by broadcasting the seed. But it creates difficulty in intercultural operations besides reducing the yield. Hence, wheat should always be sown in lines 22 cm apart by kera. Seed should not be put more than 5 cm deep.



Seed rate :

90-100 kg seed/ha is required for timely sown crop and seed rate should be increased to 150 kg/ha for rainfed wheat sown after 20 th December.
