Irrigation
During dry periods, irrigations are required every 4 – 7 days depending on the severity of the drought and type of soil.
Weed management
Weeds could be controlled by manual methods such as weeding and application pre and post emergent weed killers. Crops need to be maintained weed free at least until flowering stage.
Harvesting
Harvest when 80% of panicle turns in to yellow color. Crops are harvested, shelled and cleaned manually when grain moisture is low and after physiological maturity is reached. Seed moisture is lowered by sun drying to a safer level before shelling the seeds.
