Farmers in all irrigated areas of Punjab have been advised to complete the cultivation of approved wheat varieties by December 10. It has been said that farmers should complete the cultivation of approved wheat varieties like Diluksh 21, Bhakkar 20, Subhani 21, MH 21, Akbar 19, Ghazi 19, Bhakkar Star, Fakhar Bhakkar etc. in all irrigated areas by December 10, while Anaj 17, Zankol 16 and Gold 16, Johar 16, Borlag 16, Ujala 16, Aas 11 and Millat 11, Faisalabad 8 etc. should be used for sowing in all areas of Punjab and Kalrathi land. However, it should be remembered that Millat 11 and Faisalabad 8 varieties are affected by the fungus, so they should be cultivated on a minimum area. Farmers should sow 40 to 50 kg of seeds per hectare by November 30, while 50 to 55 kg of seeds per hectare should be used from December 1 to 10. Use acre and the seed germination rate should not be less than 85 percent.

A spokesperson for the Directorate Wheat Research Institute, Aari, Faisalabad, said that more than fifty types of weeds are found in the wheat fields cultivated in Punjab province, which are divided into broad-leaved and grass family weeds based on their botanical structure, while in terms of their damaging ability, they are divided into highly damaging, moderately damaging and less damaging weeds.

He said that by identifying weeds found in wheat fields with the help of local staff of the Agriculture Department and taking effective measures to eradicate and control them, the yield per acre can be increased. He said that by using double herbicide 30 to 40 days after wheat cultivation, more than 50 percent of weeds are destroyed and up to 16 percent increase in yield is possible, while if wheat is sprayed twice to eradicate weeds from wheat, more yield is obtained.
He said that for chemical control of wheat weeds, after the first watering, i.e. 30 to 40 days after wheat cultivation, N-bromoxynil + MCPA 60% 300 ml or fluoropyra + MCPA + clopyralid 56% 400 ml and after the second watering, i.e. 50 to 60 days after wheat cultivation, 0.5% penoxadine 330 ml per acre is sprayed, which will definitely eliminate most of the weeds found in the wheat crop.
He said that if 0.5% penoxadien 330 ml with bromoxynil + MCPA 60% 300 ml trifluoropyra + MCPA + clopyralid 56% 400 ml per acre, that is, both the poisons are mixed in 100 liters of water for 45 to 50 days after sowing and sprayed in the sun when the dew dries, then the weeds are eliminated to a considerable extent. He said that chemical poisons are also used to destroy weeds, but the use of this method should be limited as much as possible because wheat is mostly used as food and the use of chemical poisons should be minimized as much as possible for food grains at the national and international levels.
