The agriculture exporters on Wednesday advised farmers to complete cultivation of wheat crops by November 20 for getting bumper yield.
A spokesman for the agriculture department said the first 20 days of November were most suitable for wheat cultivation as production of wheat and quality of grain would decrease gradually if it will be late after November 20.
He said that farmers should use one-and-half bags of DAP fertilizer and at first watering 2-3 bags of Urea fertilizer. A bag of Sulphate of Potash (SOP) should also be applied for getting good produce.
He said that farmers should cultivate approved varieties of wheat including Faisalabad-2008, Galaxy-2013, NN Gandum-I-2016, Sehar-2016, Johar-2016, Pakistan-3013, Anaj-2017 and Punjab-2011.
