Detail:

Application of farm yard manure after germination instead of research recommendation of eight tonnes per hectare at the time of field preparation. S K Pradhan from theTehriGarwal district of Uttar Pradesh reports that wheat farmers apply farm yard manure after germination instead of research recommendation of eight tonnes per hectare at the time of field preparation. Similarly, they use 30 kilogrammes seeds per hectare instead of the research recommendation of 10 kilogrammes seeds per hectare for finger millet and barn yard millet. They mix a local variety of toria(Brassica napus) that matures early with the main wheat crop sown in September. As soon as the toria matures in December, before the snow fall, the crop is harvested by uprooting the main plant. Apply farm yard manure after wheat germination. Use 30 kilogrammes seeds per hectare for finger millet and barn yard millet.
