Is Bed Planting of Wheat Successful in Punjab || Crop Reformer

Описание: Among the field crops wheat is planted on the largest area throughout Pakistan. Most of the crop (more than 95%) is planted through broadcast and some through different types of planters/drills in the flat soil. Flat planted wheat crop in many parts of the country suffers from different types of problems especially in the high moisture in the low lying regions in the rice zone. In order to get better wheat production from such clayey soils, specialized bed shaper cum planters have been introduced during the recent years. These may plant 4-5 rows of wheat crop at 2.5 feet distant 4-6 inches raised beds. Spacing of beds may vary depending upon soil condition. In this video, we have discussed the feasibility of bed/ridge planting of wheat in Punjab. It has been explained that bed planting of wheat crop is not equally successful all over the Punjab in all types of soil. It is only feasible in those low lying, clayey, salt affected, problem soils in which flat sowing often gets late and may result in plant mortality due to irrigation or excessive rainfalls. It has further been explained that bed planting of wheat crop in most cases, is not successful in sandy, sandy loam, loam and heavy loam soils in most parts of the province. Farmers have also been warned that bed planting of wheat cannot equally be generalized for all Punjab. Unlike most other crops which perform better in bed planting, wheat crop may lead to 30% or more reduction in grain yield if bed planted in sandy loam/poor soils especially of south Punjab.
