Depth of Wheat sowing discussed in the video
Conventional Sowing: Sow wheat with a seed-cum-fertilizer drill at a depth of 4-6
cm. A spacing of 15-20 cm between the rows gives good yield. Under late sown
conditions, row spacing should be 15 cm. Calibrate the drill accurately before use.
For spray of pre-emergence herbicide alongwith sowing, use Lucky Seed Drill.
Bi-directional Sowing: In this method use half the recommended quantities of
seed and fertilizer for sowing in one direction and the remaining half in the other
direction (across the first direction). Sow the seed a bit shallow i.e. 4 cm deep in
rows 20 cm apart. The last ploughing in the preparatory tillage can be dispensed
to reduce extra cost involved in double-sowing.
Happy Seeder or Super Seeder or PAU Smart Seeder Sowing: Use ‘Happy
Seeder’ or ‘Super Seeder’ or ‘PAU Smart seeder’ machine for sowing of wheat
in combine harvested paddy fields without straw burning or removal. To ensure
good moisture at wheat sowing, give last irrigation to paddy crop two weeks before
harvesting. Sow the crop by keeping depth between 1.5 to 2.0 inch
