New Study Shows Early Wheat Sowing Boosts Yield in Coastal Bangladesh.
The researchers studied how planting wheat at different times affects its yield in wet and salty soil in Bangladesh. They wanted to see if wheat could be grown during the dry season to increase food production. They planted wheat at different times in two years and found that planting before mid-December gave the best yields. Late planting resulted in lower yields due to delays and soil conditions. Overall, planting wheat early in the dry season can help increase crop production and food security in the region.
