- •Early-sown wheat farmers in UP face yellowing leaves and slow growth after the second irrigation.
- •Agricultural expert Dr. N.P. Gupta advises balanced nutrient management, not just nitrogen, for healthy crops.
- •Apply 40-45 kg urea per acre, 5-7 days after the second irrigation (45-50 days post-sowing).
