In this video, we have pointed out that wheat crop should be sown in well pulverized soil during the month of November. Seed rate should be increased in case of salt affected soils. Bold, graded, complete seed which is not attacked by insects, if soaked and treated with insectofungicide or bio fertilizer before planting, may also lead to good germination. Use of canal water for soaking irrigation, of acidic and balanced fertilizers may also result into proper germination.
Germination of wheat crop is a key factor in production technology of wheat crop. If successful germination is achieved, there becomes more chances of better growth and development of plants resulting in higher yield potential. There are several small steps if followed perfectly, better germination can be attained. In this video, some suggestions have been given.
Wheat seed has naturally better germination and emergence of wheat crop is often up to the mark. Wheat crop is often planted in well moisture conditions and it rarely faces germination problem. Poor germination may be due to inappropriate moisture, soil salinity problem or poor quality, insect attacked or heated seed. In this video, we have advised those farmers who faced germination problem due to any reason, about what to do for maintaining wheat plant population. In this regard, it has been advised that only irrigation should be applied to germinate those seeds which are lying as such in normal soils. Additional seed may also be broadcasted in the standing water in case of poor germination. Sprouted seed may also be used after the 1st irrigation in case of salt affected soils.
Proper germination is essential for growth and development of wheat. This plays a vital role in production technology of wheat crop. In this video, there are four reasons given that cause improper germination of wheat plants. Solution of this problem has also been given in this video.
