SARGODHA: Farmers have been advised to irrigate their wheat crops at the milky stage of grain formation while keeping in view the weather condition. Addressing the farmers at Chak 153-NB, Deputy Director Agriculture (Extension) Muhammad Shahid said that it was the time of grain formation in the crop, if water was not given at this stage, the grain size would be small which ultimately give less produce. He said that growers should keep the wheat field wet to protect the crop from the effects of hot weather. He further advised them to save the crop from insect (Tela) as its attack becomes intense on the wheat crop during the current month. He asked them to spray the cold water on insects (Tela) or shake the plants well with a rope to drop it down instead of pest scouting which was dangerous for friendly insects, environment, and human health.
