After one month from sowing of seeds you can add <strong>35 Kilograms N<\/strong> as top dressing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">If your soil is deficient in sulphur then you can add <strong>45 to 60 Kilograms<\/strong> of <strong>sulphur <\/strong>per hectare. But, if you wish to continue organic farming then <strong>\u091c\u0940\u0935\u093e\u092e\u0943\u0924<\/strong>, <strong>waste decomposer<\/strong>, or <strong>\u092a\u0902\u091a\u0917\u0935\u094d\u092f<\/strong> are wonderful organic substitutes.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Irrigation\"><\/span>\u0938\u093f\u0902\u091a\u093e\u0908<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">According to ICAR, if you sow the seeds during monsoon season i.e. June to July then the frequency of irrigation depends on the amount of rainfall. Generally <strong>one to three irrigation<\/strong> is adequate. But for <strong>summer crop<\/strong>, <strong>5 to 7 irrigation<\/strong> is good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Winter season crop <\/strong>needs <strong>4 to 5 irrigation frequency<\/strong>.

Hence better practices must be carried out to control weed growth. You can use weeder cum mulcher for hoeing when crop is at 3 week crop stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">You can also use pre emergence herbicides such as <strong>atrazine<\/strong> @ 0.50 Kilogram per hectare in 650 litres of water. <br><br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pest_Diseases\"><\/span>Pest &amp; Diseases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Pests such as <strong>stem borer<\/strong>, <strong>shoot fly<\/strong>, <strong>sorghum midge<\/strong>, etc. can seriously damage your crop.
