Non-Irrigated Condition: Special attention should be paid to the conservation of moisture during land preparation in rainfed areas. The use of 5 to 10 tonnes of dung manure is beneficial at the time of the last ploughing, together with 25 to 30 kg of nitrogen, 25 to 35 kg of phosphorus, 25 kg of potash and 20 kg of sulphur 90% per hectare when there is a deficiency. Although the use of fertilisers based on soil testing is beneficial. Irrigated Condition: In irrigated areas, first ploughing with soil plough and then three to four ploughing with harrow plough should be done. In the irrigated area, harrowing should be performed after ploughing. At the time of the last ploughing, 15 to 20 tonnes of manure or compost, together with 55 to 60 kg of nitrogen, 60 kg of phosphorus, 60 kg of potash and 20 kg of sulphur per hectare, are used when there is a shortage. Key Points to Increase Production 1. Select the variety according to the region and soil 2. Make balanced use of the fertiliser 3. Productivity can be improved from 15% to 20% by introducing hybrid varieties Source: AgroStar Agronomy Centre of Excellence If you find this information useful, click on the yellow thumbs up sign under the photo and also share this with your farmer friends using the options given below.
