climatic requirements: barley requires cool weather during early growth and warm and dry weather at maturity. Being drought resistant, barley suits to areas with scanty rainfall. time and method of sowing barley gives best results when sown between october 15 and november 15. In south-western districts, where barley is usually grown rainfed, it should be sown early. There is a gradual decline in yield when sowing gets progressively delayed up to the end of december. The crop should be sown by kera if there is enough moisture in the soil and by pora if the moisture in the upper soil layer is insufficient. Sohaga is run after sowing by kera but not after sowing by pora. Sowing can also be dne with conventional seed-cum-fertilizer drill after calibration. The running of bar-harrow after sohaga is useful in reducing the loss of moisture from the soil surface. seed rate and spacing: a seed rate of 35 kg per acre gives a god stand under irrigated conditions. Under rainfed and late-sown conditions, seed-rate upto 45 kg per acre may be used. A spacing of 22. 5 cm for the normal jsown crop and 18-20 cm for the late-sown and rainfed crop is recommened. seed treatment: before sowing, treat seed with vitavax and thiram, each @ 3g/kg of seed, to control the strip disease and loose sut in barley. Solar heat treatment as recommended for wheat can be done to control the loose smut of barley.
Berseem needs mild temperature for germination and establishment. Its growth is checked during intensely cold or frosty weather.
Method of Sowing and Seed Rate:
Eight to ten kg seed, depending upon the viability should be broadcast in standing water when the weather is calm. In case of high wind, the seed should be broadcasted evenly in dry land followed immediately by raking and irrigation. The seed should be free from seeds of chicory (Kashni) and other weeds. To ensure this, put the berseem seed into water and sieve or decant the floating weed seed.
For obtaining a high yield of good-quality fodder, mix 750g of mustard seed with the full seed-rate of berseem. Alternatively mix berseem with koats, using half the recommended seed-rate of oats. Ink this case the oats seed is broadcasted and mixed with the soil with a cultivator. The field is irrigated immediately and the berseem seed is broadcasted evenly as usual, in standing water.
Berseem ryegrass when grown together make a very compatible mixture. To obtain high yield of good quality fodder, add 2 - 3 kg seed of ryegrass per acre with full seed rate of berseem or mix 1 kg ryegrass seed per acre with the recommended seed rate of berseem oats or berseem sarson mixture. Mix some moist soil with ryegrass seed and broadcast evenly. Then broadcast berseem seed, rake the field and irrigate imediately.

climatic requirements:
gram is a winter season crop but severe cold and frost are injurious to it. It is primarily a crop of low-rainfall areas, but gives good returns in irrigated conditions as well. Excessive rains soon after sowing or at flowering and fruiting or hail-storms at ripening cause heavy loss. Sometimes there is an early onsset of su mmer which reduces the growing period of this crop hastens maturity and reduces the yield.
time of sowing:
the optimum sowing time for desi gram under rainfed conditions is from october 10 to october 25. Under irrigated conditions both desi and kabuli gram should be sown from october 25 to november 10. The early-sown crop suffers from wilt owing to high temperature at that time. It also makes excessive vegetative growth which results in poor seed-set. On the other hand, the lae-sown crop makes poor vegetative growth, with inadequate root development which results in low yield. This can be partly compensated by increasing the seed rate.
method of sowing and seed rate:
gram should be sown by the pora method in rows 30 cm apart. The seed should be placd 10 - 12. 5 cm deep, because the shallow-sown crop is more liable to be damaged by wilt. After rice particularly on heavy soils, sow two rows of gram on raised beds. Conventional seed-cum-fertilizer drill with broader flutes can be used for sowing gram. The optimum seed rate for desi and kabuli gram are 15 - 18 kg and 37 kg per acre. Seed rate of desi gram should be increased to 27 kg seed per in the case of second fortnight of november sowing and to 36 kg kper acre in case sowing is done in the first fortnight of december.
Ryegrass needs mild temprature for germination and growth. It grows well on medium to heavy fertility soils.
Time of Sowing:
The optimum time of sowing is kthe last week of September to the first week of October. The seed crop can be sown up to November.
Method of Sowing and Seed Rate:
Sow 4 kg of seed per acre by broadcast method. Mix the seed with moist soil for even broadcasting in dry land followed immediately by raking and iorrigation.

Climatic Requirements:
Wheat needs cool climate during the early part of it growth. Warm temperature at this stage is unfavourable to tillering and also promotes several diseases. Too much of rain during the season results in heavy incidence of rusts.
Sowing Method and Spacing
Adopt bi-directional method of sowing and get an aditional yield of about 2 quintals per acre with the same seed rate and other inputs. Use half the recommended quantities of seed and fertilizer for sowing in one direction and the remaining half in the other direction. Sow the seed a bit shallow i.e. 4 cm deep in rows 20-22 cm apart. The rows in the second direction sowing will cut across the first direction sown rows at right angles. Give light planking after completing the sowing. For the best result, make sure that there is kenough soil moisture at the time of sowing. Adopt chemical weed-control measures as the recommendations. The last ploughing/cultivating operation in the preparatory tillage can be dispensed with to reduce extra cost involved in double-sowing.
