Avoid these three mistakes

If you want your wheat crop to give good yield, then you should avoid three important mistakes.

Take care of moisture

Before harvesting wheat, make sure that the moisture of the grains has completely reduced. Remove the grains from the ears and check. If harvesting is done with grains with high moisture, then the grains will shrink after harvesting, which will reduce the weight and also affect the quality of the flour.

Do not thresh immediately after harvesting

It is important to let the plants dry thoroughly before threshing. Threshing immediately after harvesting does not give good quality wheat grains and straw. It would be better to tie the crops and leave them in the field for at least two days after harvesting, so that they dry well.

Protect from unseasonal rains

Sudden rains in the month of March can sometimes damage the standing crop. To avoid such a situation, build a barn near the field and keep a tarpaulin arrangement, so that the wheat can be kept safe after harvesting.

Other important things

• Stop irrigation of the field 15-20 days before harvesting.
• Keep the boundary of the field cut, so that it can easily come out if water comes suddenly.
• Keep the harvested wheat tied, so that the crop does not fly away and scatter due to strong winds.

By adopting these precautions, you can improve the yield and quality of your wheat crop. For more information stay connected with Mera Farmhouse.
