Sunflower Cultivation in February: Boost Yield with These Expert Tips!
- •February is ideal for sunflower cultivation due to diminishing winter and rising temperatures, aiding seed germination and plant development.
- •Prepare well-drained loamy soil by deep plowing and adding 5-8 tons of farmyard manure or vermicompost per acre for friability.
- •Select high-yielding hybrid varieties like DRSH-1, KBSH-1, or MSFH-17, known for disease resistance and 40-45% oil content.
- •Sow seeds in the first or second week of February, maintaining specific row-to-row (45-60 cm) and plant-to-plant (20-25 cm) distances at a depth of 3-4 cm.
- •Manage fertilizer with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash; provide 4-5 irrigations, especially during flowering and seed filling stages.
Why It Matters: Cultivate sunflowers in February using proper soil, hybrid seeds, and care for a bumper harvest by May.
