Subject: Efforts to Relay Moong in Standing Wheat
Dear All,
With the blessings & support from you all, during the current rabi season (2013-14), efforts have been made by Ludhiana CIMMYT-BISA team, to relay moong in the standing wheat (ppt attached) using high clearance tractor and seeder to advance the seeding date by 20 to 30 days for short duration moong (SML 668/ SML 832). The following steps were followed:
The following were some interesting preliminary observations:
- BCS reaper binder (too save wheat straw)
-Combine harvester no loose straw
- Combine harvester keeping all loose straw but using spreader
I also want take this opportunity to thank Dr. M L Jat to be a part of this development & evaluation and unconditional support to all our CA activities.
Proud to be a part of CA Team
