ITEMS FROM PAKISTAN AGRONOMIC RESEARCH STATION Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Wheat following the cotton and rice-based cropping system in Pakistan
نویسنده
چکیده
Four million hectares of wheat are planted after cotton and rice in Pakistan. Little research has been done on the aronomy of wheat following these crops on a cropping pattern basis. Both of these crops delay wheat planting, and it is estimated that 40–50 kg of wheat grain is lost for every day that planting is delayed past 20 November. Current recommendations for land preparation, fertilizer use, weed control, and varieties are based on planting wheat following a fallow. Team work is direly needed to develop more useful recommendations for planting wheat following cottonand rice-cropping patterns.
