Which Fertilizer and How Much Should Be Given to Wheat?

Proper fertilizer management can increase yield by 20–25%!

Introduction:

Wheat is one of the major crops cultivated across India. With proper fertilizer management, farmers can increase yields by 20 to 25 percent.
However, incorrect timing or dosage of fertilizers often reduces productivity — hence knowing the right method is crucial.

Recommended Fertilizer Schedule:

1️⃣ At the time of sowing:

• 10:26:26 or DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) + Half bag of Potash
  Provides essential nutrients for early crop establishment.

2️⃣ After 20 days (First Top Dressing):

• Half Urea + Half 10:26:26

3️⃣ After 40 days (Second Top Dressing):

• Remaining Urea

Micronutrient Supplementation:

Applying Zinc Sulphate or Zinc EDTA at sowing improves root development, chlorophyll formation, and grain filling.

Conclusion:

Timely and balanced fertilizer management ensures healthy wheat growth and helps achieve 20–25% higher yield with better-quality grains.
