Advice for farmers:
In view of the weather changing every day, agricultural scientists of Birsa Agricultural University have given advice to the farmers. Scientists have told farmers not to spray any kind of medicine in case of light rain and overcast conditions in the coming days. Spray only when the weather is clear. In such weather, the incidence of diseases is high. Therefore, farmers should keep regular monitoring of standing crops. Clean grains properly before storing. Dry out the moisture content. Add soil to the summer maize crop. Apply 26 kg urea per acre to the crop.
