Wheat

Wheat needs strong early vigour and timely micronutrients. This program improves soil structure, corrects zinc deficiency, and strengthens grain development for better yield and quality.

Season schedule

What to apply, and when

Stage timing comes from agricultural-university research (cited). Doses are Urvar's own label doses, shown per katha with bigha and acre equivalents.

Units
1 bigha = 20 katha (West Bengal) · 1 acre ≈ 60.5 katha
  1. 1

    15 November (best sowing date)1,2

    Sowing

    In BCKV trials at Kalyani, sowing on 15 November gave significantly more grain than later sowings. Half the nitrogen and all of the phosphorus and potassium go in at sowing.

    Enriched Vermicompost

    During land preparation

    17–25 kg per katha

    340–500 kg per bigha · ≈ 1–1.5 t per acre

    Label dose for Paddy (closest crop row)

    PROM – Phosphate Rich Organic Manure

    During final land preparation

    1.5–2 kg per katha

    30–40 kg per bigha · ≈ 91–121 kg per acre

    Label dose for Paddy (closest crop row)

  2. 2

    21 days after sowing2

    Crown root initiation

    First irrigation at 21 days after sowing. A quarter of the nitrogen is top-dressed at crown root initiation.

    Humic Acid Liquid

    Mix in 15–20 litres water per Katha

    30–60 ml per katha

    0.6–1.2 L per bigha · ≈ 1.8–3.6 L per acre

    Label dose: foliar spray

    Zinc EDTA 12%

    Mix in 15–20 litres water per Katha

    3–7 g per katha

    60–140 g per bigha · ≈ 182–424 g per acre

    Label dose: foliar spray

  3. 3

    Boot stage2

    Booting

    The last quarter of the nitrogen is top-dressed at the boot stage. A second irrigation is given at 45 days after sowing.

    PROM – Humic Based Flowering Booster

    Apply 10–15 days before flowering (label timing for flowering crops)

    1.5–2 kg per katha

    30–40 kg per bigha · ≈ 91–121 kg per acre

    Label dose for Paddy (closest crop row)

    Boron EDTA

    Mix in 15–20 litres water per Katha

    2–4 g per katha

    40–80 g per bigha · ≈ 121–242 g per acre

    Label dose: foliar spray

  4. 4

    75 days after sowing2

    Flowering & grain filling

    A third irrigation is given at 75 days after sowing. In the Pusa trials, wheat sown on 25 November reached 50% flowering in about 86 days.

  5. 5

    About 129 days (sown 25 November)2

    Maturity

    In the Pusa trials, wheat sown on 25 November reached physiological maturity in about 129 days.

General symptoms that apply across crops. Confirm with a soil or leaf test before treating.3

Zinc

Upper leaves show interveinal chlorosis, eventually whitening. Leaves may be small and distorted, in a rosette form.

Phosphorus

Growth is slow and stunted, and older leaves turn purple, especially on the underside.

Wheat FAQ

Common questions

How do I convert a per-katha dose to bigha or acre?

Multiply by 20 for a West Bengal bigha (1 bigha = 20 katha), or by about 60.5 for an acre. Every dose on this page already shows all three.

Which Urvar products does the Wheat program use?

Sowing: Enriched Vermicompost, PROM – Phosphate Rich Organic Manure. Crown root initiation: Humic Acid Liquid, Zinc EDTA 12%. Booting: PROM – Humic Based Flowering Booster, Boron EDTA.
