edit:
10.11.2022 https://sudanesetimes.com/economics/irr ... l-project/ :
In the New Halfa project, irrigation operations have begun for the winter wheat crop, which is planted this year in an area of ​​70,000 feddans, after all preparations and cultivation of the crop has been completed in various inspections, which is expected to yield 10 tons per feddan. Engineer Nahed Muhammad Ahmad Al-Badawi, Director of the Department of Technology Transfer and Agricultural Extension at the New Halfa Agricultural Authority, indicated in a statement to SUNA that attention should be paid to the first irrigation of the wheat crop as it is the key to high production, stressing that the first irrigation (the horn) requires the farmer to follow-up personally because it determines the fate of the success of the crop or not. .
Nahid stressed the importance of completing the first plan in the required manner, as it is the only guarantor of achieving high profits.
She added that neglecting the first irrigation means losing seeds and production, which leads to huge losses for farmers, pointing out that the Department of Technology Transfer and Agricultural Extension used to provide indicative doses to avoid problems that may arise during the season.
