Proper irrigation in wheat crop

Wheat is the main cereal crop in India. With the growing population, the food requirement of the world is also increasing rapidly. And wheat is an important food crop that plays a crucial role in meeting the world food requirement. Wheat can be grown all over the world but when it comes to production, China tops the list, followed by India and the US. 

Many factors are associated with the low yield of wheat in our country but the foremost one is the un-scientific use of available irrigation water. To harvest a bumper crop of wheat, the adequate facility for irrigation water is essential. 

In order to utilize the full potential, dwarf wheat needs more irrigation in comparison to local tall wheat. If irrigations are not given at the required time then there is a drastic reduction in yield. Underwater deficit condition, the growth and development of the crop are checked. This also reduces the uptake of nutrients. Therefore, it is always necessary to give water to wheat as and when needed. 

Let’s have a look at the six stages of irrigation in wheat crops:

•         First irrigation: 

The first irrigation to be standing crop could be given 20-25 days after sowing, i.e. at the crown root initiation stage. 

•         Second Irrigation: 

At the tillering stage, 40-45 days after sowing.

•         Third Irrigation: 

 At the late jointing stage within 70-75 days after sowing.

•         Fourth Irrigation: 

At the flowering stage, within 90-95 days after sowing. Irrigation at this stage is also important because during this period plant suffer most from soil moisture deficiency.

•         Fifth Irrigation:

 

At dough stage, within 110-115 days after sowing.
