While the increasing cold weather is causing difficulties for ordinary people, wheat farmers are happy.
This Rabi crop is sown from the end of October to November. A cold climate is essential for this crop.
In fact, the right amount of fog between December and January plays a crucial role in wheat production.
The tiny water droplets present in the fog remain suspended in the air for a long time and settle on plants and the top layer of soil. This reduces the rate of evaporation from the field, allowing the
The direct benefit of this moisture is that it reduces water consumption, which increases the interval between irrigations. Additionally, the fog prevents the sun's intense rays from reaching the fiel
The daytime temperature doesn't rise suddenly, which helps maintain the temperature balance necessary for wheat growth. A cool and humid environment is considered ideal for the tillering stage of whea
Due to the balanced temperature, the crop directs its energy towards developing new branches. This increases the number of ears per square meter, which is a crucial factor in increasing yield.
Excessive heat during grain filling causes the grains to become lighter and shriveled. Fog helps to balance the temperature and humidity.
This balance allows the grains to fill gradually and to their full potential. This increases the weight of a thousand grains and improves the quality of the crop.
However, excessive fog significantly increases moisture levels in the fields. In such conditions, fungal diseases spread rapidly. Regular monitoring of the crop and timely spraying are crucial.
