Therefore, the farmers have been advised to harvest wheat and gram crops at the earliest. Use a tractor driven reaper or combine harvester to save time and energy in harvesting the mature wheat crop. In the summer Kalin paddy crop, use Prakash Prapancha or Phromen Trap for initial control to protect the crop from the infestation of stem borer. Temperatures are likely to increase in the coming days. Therefore, it is advisable to the farmer brothers to irrigate the paddy in summer season as per requirement. Spray the third dose of nitrogen when the maize crop is in soft water. If sesame crop has not been planted in summer, then plow the field and sow it. Considering the possibility of increase in temperature, farmers brothers are advised
