Wheat crop may turn yellow due to falling temperature, take these measures immediately amid frost

Shahjahanpur : As the second fortnight of December begins, a drop in temperature is seen. After snowfall in the mountains, cold continues to wreak havoc in the plains as well. People are facing the cold wave but the effect of this weather is also being seen on the crops and trees and plants of the farmers. If we talk about these days, mainly wheat crop is standing in the fields. This time is considered very sensitive in the wheat crop, because the number of tillers in the wheat crop increases during these days. At such a time, very special care of the wheat crop is necessary.

Agriculture expert Dr. NP Gupta said that the temperature is continuously falling to low level and the farmers who had sown the wheat crop on time, now is the time for tillering of their crop. At this time, if balanced quantity of fertilizer is supplied to the wheat crop, then there will be good growth of the wheat crop, but the falling mercury can harm the wheat crop. Especially fog and frost in the plains are affecting the crops. In such situations, wheat crop often turns yellow. The growth of wheat crop stops. It is important that farmers irrigate on time for protection and also supply micronutrients.

use sulfur
Farmers should do light irrigation in the wheat crop, after that it is also important to supply micro nutrients, because sulfur will protect the wheat crop from the wrath of cold. In such a situation, it is necessary for farmers to apply granular sulfur or sulfur in powder form along with zinc and potash in the field. By doing this, there will be no effect of cold on the wheat crop and growth will be good. Using sulfur will also provide relief from the problem of fungus in wheat crop plants.
