According to the agricultural department, wheat can be grown in the Meherpur region due to its climate and soil. The agricultural agency prohibited farmers in this area from growing wheat because of the recent blast disease epidemic.

In the Meherpur district, more than 13,000,65 hectares of land had been planted with wheat this season. 53 thousand 566 metric tons is the planned output for this year. A hectare of land will yield 4.1 MT of production.

Ten thousand hectares were the goal for wheat farming in the area. Given the favorable weather, farmers anticipate a high wheat crop. The district has seen a decline in wheat farming over the previous few years due to blast disease.

Due to last year's exceptional weather and pricing, farmers in the district are interested in growing wheat this year.

The Agriculture Department stated that 10,000 hectares were to be planted with wheat this season in the Meherpur area. The district has farmed 13,65 hectares of land, exceeding the agricultural department's aim. Farmers are growing novel wheat types, such as Bari 30, 33, and BW-3, that are high-yielding, zinc-rich, and resistant to blasts. Farmers are receiving essential guidance from the agricultural department to sustain wheat yields.

According to the agricultural department, wheat can be grown in the Meherpur region due to its climate and soil. The agricultural agency prohibited farmers in this area from growing wheat because of the recent blast disease epidemic.

Farmers planted new, high-yielding wheat types last year that are zinc-rich and blast-resistant, all to allay that anxiety.We planted wheat on two bighas this year, according to Mahir Uddin of Amzhupi village. One bigha of land requires the use of 18 to 20 thousand rupees for wheat growing, including fertilizer, seeds, cultivation, and irrigation.

20–22 maunds of wheat may be produced on one bigha of land. If the price is the same as it was last year, farmers will profit. There hasn't been a natural calamity yet, he claimed. This kind of weather will lead to a strong crop, which will assist the farmers.

According to Saharul Islam, a wheat farmer in Sadar Upazila's Jhaubaria village, the wheat has improved and the winter is harsher this year.
Crops like wheat can be grown profitably. On a single bigha of wheat land, growing wheat only costs 18,000–20,000 taka. Each bigha land yields about 20 maunds.

On four bighas of land, he added, we have planted between thirty and thirty-three different types of wheat this season. He farmed wheat in two bighas last year.

Additionally, he mentioned that you should pay attention to the advice of pesticide vendors if there is any illness in the wheat field. There are no agriculture office personnel available.

Farmers lament that the agricultural bureau does not offer any guidance. When illnesses show up in wheat fields, farmers have no other option than to turn to pesticide sellers.

According to Meherpur Department of Agriculture Extension Sub-

Director Vijay Krishna Halder, wheat may be grown on Meherpur's hot, alkaline soil. Farmers are becoming more interested in growing wheat as a result of new blast-resistant, high-yielding wheat cultivars that are zinc-rich. In this sense, field-level monitoring is still ongoing.
Farmers are being urged to plant new wheat types that are high-yielding, disease-resistant, and zinc-rich to boost the nation's wheat crop.
