Seventy percent of our sails are partially salt affected and patches of badly salt affected soils are scattered throughout Punjab. Wheat is fairly salt tolerant crop but its germination is hindered in such soils. If once germination is acquired, it may be raised successfully through the use of acidic fertilizers. For example 12.5 kg of urea phosphate 18:44 may be fertigated along with 25-30 kg of urea fertilizer at 1st irrigation and the same amount of acidic NPK 16:22:23 (Swat Agro) at 2nd irrigation may give it as good boost as in healthy soils. Use of sulphur coated urea is also suggested. Deficiency of Phosphorus may also be compensated with 1-2 sprays of Speedfol P within 1st two months of planting.
Sandy soils are not famous for higher production of wheat crop. But there are some fertilizers that are proven to be most effective for such type of soils. Production technology of wheat is improving day by day. Modern techniques, methods and fertilizers are taking place of previous methods and fertilizers as well. This is need of the time to adopt modern technology to cope with the rising prices of all types of products and machinery. If we will nor succeed in gaining higher yield of wheat crop, it will become difficult to convince farmers to grow wheat on a larger area of land. Production and overall average of wheat crop should be increased by using different new ways. In this video, I have tried to explain different fertilizers that perform better in sandy soils.
A huge acreage of clayey, salt affected and low lying soil is located in the rice zone of Punjab. Planting of wheat crop after rice is very difficult in some areas and its sowing is hampered in several other areas due to non-approach of proper moisture condition after coarse rice crop in the core area of rice zone. In this video, we have advised the farmers either to manage bed planting with the help of specialized bed shaper cum planter or adopt augmented furrow/bed methods in such clayey and salt affected soils where water holding capacity is extraordinary more than most common fields of the area. Gap chat method has also been proposed to avoid late sowing of wheat after late maturing basmati rice.
Wheat crop is a cash crop of Pakistan. It has the potential to uplift the economy of farmers by getting higher yield. This can be achieved if weather conditions and soil health support the crop production. But this is very difficult to achieve in salt affected soil. In this video I have described a new way to achieve maximum yield from a salt affected soil. If this approach is adopted, production of wheat crop can be enhanced considerably.
Several compound form nutrients based on fertilizers which are used conventionally are npk, calcium nitrate, organic fertilizer, npk fertilizer, dap fertilizer is becoming costly day by day, nitrogen fertilizer is urea and can, liquid fertilizer, potash fertilizer, rock phosphate is a raw form, bio fertilizer increase organic activity, diammonium phosphate is also known as dap fertilizer, mop fertilizer refines to SOP, foliar fertilizer fulfils needs at a required stage, potassium fertilizer is needed at gobh stage, single super phosphate is used as an alternate of DAP, micronutrients in plants play a vital role for plant growth, monoammonium phosphate, water soluble fertilizer has the quality to easily dissolve, calcium ammonium nitrate is better than urea for several crops, compost fertilizer is a natural fertilizers that increases the organic matter of soil, organic fertilizer for plants is an important ammendment, npk fertilizer price is increasing so we have to shift towards smaller but effective ways of its use, urea fertilizer price is not so high but calcium ammonium nitrate is better option, liquid fertilizer for plants has the quality of readily available, humic acid fertilizer opens the pore spaces of soil to absorb more contents, ammonium sulphate fertilizer is also a part of several fertilizers, sop fertilizer should be used for flood only.
