Amidst fears of Corona, Indian Council of Agricultural Research gave useful advice on harvesting
Amidst fears of Corona, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research has given some useful advice to farmers on harvesting. Council has said that farmers can postpone wheat harvesting for a few days. The Council believes that the harvesting of wheat can be delayed till April 20 and there will be no loss.
Citing the reason behind this, the council said that in most areas the temperature is still below average and hence some delay in harvesting can be done. Significantly, the harvesting of wheat generally starts from the end of March.

- After the sky is clear, spread crops like Gram, Lentil, Wheat on tarpaulin or plastic sheets and dry it thoroughly for 2 to 3 days so that the moisture content in the grains is less than 12% and then store it.
- To protect the seeds from insects, fungus & weeds, Clean the stalks, soil, leaves and weed seeds in the seed before storing them, and after drying for 2-3 days in strong sunlight, with 8-10% moisture.
- It is necessary to treat seeds with fungicide before storing seeds, which can lead to cheap and effective control of seed borne disease. For seed treatment, Thiram or Captan should be treated at the rate of 3 grams or Carboxin 2 grams per kg seed.
