Wheat HD-2967 Specifications

  • Maturity

    ~130–140 days — harvest when grains hard and moisture appropriate.

  • Fertilizer

    Follow soil test; commonly NPK with split N applications (basal + top dressings).

  • Irrigation

    Recommended 4–6 irrigations depending on soil — critical at crown root initiation and flowering.

  • Seed rate

    ~100–125 kg/ha (broadcast/line sowing); seed drill rates vary by method (check local advisories).

  • Disease watch

    Monitor for stripe and leaf rust; spray fungicide on threshold and prefer improved resistant derivatives where available.

  • Sowing window

    1–15 November (optimum); can extend into late November/December with yield penalty.

  • Spacing & population

    Standard row sowing; follow local package recommendations for plant stand.

  • Grain quality & end-use

    Grain: Amber, medium-bold, hard and lustrous — suitable for good chapati and bread quality.

Agronomy & management

  • Sowing time: Timely sowing is key — 1–15 November gives best yield response.
  • Seed rate: 100–125 kg/ha depending on seed size and sowing method.
  • Land prep: Fine, well-levelled field ensures uniform germination and tillering.
  • Nutrient management: Responds well to balanced NPK; split nitrogen boosts tillers and grain fill.
  • Irrigation: 4–6 irrigations ideal; never miss CRI, flowering & grain filling stages.
  • Weed control: Early weed control (20–35 DAS) is critical for yield protection.
  • Disease watch: Monitor for yellow/leaf rust; timely fungicide spray prevents losses.
  • Harvesting: Harvest at full grain maturity to avoid shattering and quality loss.
