Options:
Flowering
Seed filling
Ear head emergence
Germination
✅Explanation: The critical stage for irrigation in bajra is ear head emergence. Water stress during this stage can significantly reduce yield and grain quality.
🔑Key Points:
The critical stage for irrigation:Â
-The stage at which the water stress causes severe yield reduction is known as the critical stage of water requirement or a critical stage for irrigation or moisture-sensitive stage.
-Moisture stress during critical stages of irrigation will irrevocably reduce the yield.
