Know very important information before cultivating barley

To get more production in barley cultivation, the most suitable time for sowing its seeds is from 15 October to 15 November. However, depending on the circumstances and supply of fodder, it can be sown even till the first week of December.
Delay in sowing due to low temperatures results in late germination. It should be sown in rows at a distance of 25 cm with a plough or seed drill.
The seeds should be sown at a depth of 4 to 5 cm. Weeds can be easily controlled in crops sown in rows. By treating the seeds before sowing with Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% (Karmanova) @ 2.5 grams per kg of seeds, germination is good and the crop remains free from seed-borne diseases.
For crops sown for fodder, 100 kg seeds should be sown per hectare. But for grains, only 80 kg seeds are required per hectare.
