Wheat farming is not only the pride of India but also an excellent way to boost your income. Here’s a detailed guide on how to grow wheat on one acre of land effectively and profitably.
Sowing Time
The best time for sowing wheat is between October and November. Start by plowing the field and preparing the soil. The cost for field preparation is approximately ₹1,000-₹1,500. For one acre, you will need 40-50 kilograms of seeds.
Fertilizers and Irrigation
Maintaining the right balance of NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) fertilizers is essential for healthy crop growth. The first irrigation should be done 20-25 days after sowing.
Fertilizer + Labor Cost: ₹2,000-₹2,500
Irrigation + Labor Cost: ₹2,000-₹2,500
Weed and Pest Control
To ensure a good harvest, timely weed removal and pest control are crucial. Use the following solutions for effective control:
For broadleaf weeds: San Mast (8-16 gm/acre)
For narrow-leaf weeds: San Fop (160 gm/acre)
For rust control: San Azoxy (300 ml/acre)
For sap-sucking pests: San Oxim (100 gm/acre)
Weed and Pesticide Cost: ₹1,500-₹2,000

Harvest wheat in April, once the wheat heads turn golden. The harvesting and threshing cost is around ₹2,000-₹2,500 per acre.
