It is very important to choose the right varieties for sowing wheat.
Farmers are currently sowing Rabi crops. Wheat is the main crop of Rabi season and is widely cultivated in many states. But due to lack of information, farmers are not able to choose those varieties from which they can get more yield. Improved varieties also reduce the risk of disease and insect attacks. In such a situation, farmers do not have to spend on pesticides and due to reduction in cost, the income automatically increases.
Wheat sowing is in its final stages in Punjab, Haryana, western parts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. But in states like eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, sowing is gaining momentum and has not even started in some parts. In such a situation, if farmers make arrangements for improved quality seeds in advance, then it will help them to increase their income.
