Best time to sow wheat in north India

KisanMitra Advisory · Apr 26, 2026

Aim for sowing between Nov 1 and Nov 25 — every 7-day delay after Nov 25 can cost up to 1.5 q/ha.

For timely-sown wheat (Nov 1-25), use varieties like HD-3086, HD-2967, PBW-725. For late sowing (after Nov 25), shift to short-duration varieties like HD-3059 or HD-3271. Treat seed with fungicide; sow at 4-5 cm depth at 22.5 cm row spacing. Apply 60 kg N + 30 kg P + 30 kg K per acre as basal dose.
