🎊 Includes various local festivities and activities Wheat Production AND Heat Key WheatProducing States Wheat is primarily grown in the northwestern parts of India, particularly in states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. These regions are crucial for the country’s wheat supply. Sowing and Harvesting Seasons Wheat is typically sown between October and December and harvested from February to April during the rabi crop season. However, with rising temperatures, the timing of these activities could be thrown off balance The Relationship Between Heat and Wheat Understanding Heat Stress Climate variability isn’t new, but it becomes alarming when it overlaps with the crop growth season. Heat stress can significantly impact wheat production, leading to reduced yields and lower quality. Effects on Growth and Development A study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences highlights that heat stress alters essential processes like photosynthesis and respiration, ultimately affecting grain production and quality Stages of Wheat Growth Germination to Emergence Wheat growth can be divided into stages, starting from germination to emergence, where the seedling breaks through the soil. Growth Stages and Heat Sensitivity As the plant progresses through its growth stages, it becomes increasingly susceptible to heat stress, particularly during the reproductive phase
