Sowing methods :

  1. Seed drilling by ZT -seed drill machine :
  2. Surface seeding :
  • Broadcasting of wheat seed or surface of untilled soil.
  • Done before harvest of rice / day or after harvest.
  • Practiced under low land condition where the residual moisture of soil is too high or low and not suitable for tillage operation.
  • Recommended dose of seed is 120-150 kg/ha.
  • Seed is mixed with fresh cow dung @ 1% and spread on shady area to dry . Done to protect seed from direct exposure to sunlight and protect seed from picking by birds.

Other crop management are similar to CT method.
