Rizq 2026 Wheat Seed 40kg – Zinc Biofortified New Variety

📢 Rizq 2026: New Wheat Variety with Yield Potential of 85 Maunds per Acre

Written by: Chaudhry Iftikhar Sandhu (Quaid-e-Azam Gold Medalist)

The new biofortified wheat variety "Rizq-2026", recently approved by the Punjab Seed Council, is a revolutionary milestone for farmers. This variety has been developed by the Wheat Research Institute, Faisalabad in collaboration with the Punjab Agriculture Department, PARB, CIMMYT and HarvestPlus, to address malnutrition in the country while achieving a bumper wheat harvest. Below is a complete introduction to the variety, its key features and the modern production technology to get maximum yield:

🌾 Key Features of Rizq 2026 Wheat Variety

This variety has been specially developed keeping in view changing weather conditions (climate change) and human health.

• ✅ Rich in zinc: this variety naturally contains a high amount of zinc, which is extremely beneficial in overcoming malnutrition and weakness in women and children
• ✅ High yield potential: thanks to modern genetic traits, it has the capacity to give much higher yield than traditional varieties. Its yield potential is reported to be up to 85 maunds per acre
• ✅ Resistance to drought and harsh weather: this variety has a strong ability to maintain its yield even during low water or extreme heat/drought, so it can be successfully cultivated in irrigated, semi-irrigated and rain-fed (barani) areas
• ✅ Disease resistance: it has excellent resistance against rust (kungi), the most dangerous disease of wheat, which saves on spray costs
• ✅ Excellent chapati quality: being rich in zinc, the roti made from its flour is soft, delicious and of high quality, making it excellent for both market and household use

🔰 Modern Production Technology for Rizq 2026

To benefit fully from the yield potential of Rizq-2026, follow these modern practices as recommended by agriculture experts:

⬅️ Wheat Sowing Time:
15 October to 15 November is the best and most suitable time for its sowing.
Note: late sowing (15 November ) can reduce the yield, so ensure timely sowing.

⬅️ Seed Rate:
For timely sowing, use 40 kg per acre of clean, healthy and graded seed. In rain-fed (barani) areas and for sowing after 15 November, increase the seed rate to 50 to 55 kg so that the plant population remains complete.

⬅️ Seed Treatment:
Before sowing, the seed must be treated with a good fungicide so that early-stage diseases do not attack.

⚡ Wheat Sowing Methods

• 🔸 Sowing with a drill: use a kor drill or zero tillage drill for wheat sowing. The seed falls at a uniform depth, germination improves and fertilizer reaches directly near the roots
• 🔸 Bed planting method: sowing on beds is also highly profitable for saving water and protecting the crop from lodging

⚡ Fertilizer Plan for Record Wheat Yield

To take full advantage of the outstanding 85 maund per acre yield potential of the new high-yielding wheat variety Rizq 2026, a balanced fertilizer plan is given below:

⭐ At land preparation and sowing:
Phosphorus and potash are needed right at the start for strong roots and grain filling.

✨ DAP:
Apply one and a half bags of DAP, or its cheaper and powerful alternative of 3 bags of BOP Bumsey and 1 bag of Sulphur Coated Nitrophos Tezabi, during land preparation.

✨ Mark6 Fertilizer:
To get up to 40% extra yield from fertile and saline (kallar) soils, apply 2 to 3 bags per acre of Mark6, the masterpiece imported fertilizer based on yield-boosting Korean technology, during land preparation.

✨ Hybreed Mukka Potash (SOP):
1 bag of Hybreed Mukka Potash (3 times more powerful potash) during land preparation protects the crop from lodging, increases disease resistance and makes the grain bold, heavy and shiny, increasing yield by 12 to 15 maunds per acre. According to modern research, applying potash during land preparation instead of at the booting stage gives more benefit.

✨ Urea and zinc sulphate at the first irrigation:
When applying the first (kor) irrigation 20 to 25 days after sowing, since this is the most important time for wheat tillering, 1 bag of urea and 5 kg of zinc sulphate (33%) are very helpful in increasing the number of tillers.

✨ Fertilizers at the second irrigation:
The second irrigation is given 40 to 45 days after sowing, i.e. at the pre-booting stage. At this time the plant is rapidly completing its growth, so at this stage flood 1 bag of urea and 1 kg of humic acid with the water, so that the nutrients present in the soil become easily available to the plant.

✨ Third irrigation and fertilizers:
70 to 80 days after sowing, at the booting stage when the ear is forming inside the leaf, avoid giving urea (nitrogen), otherwise there is a risk of lodging. At this time spray half a bag of Ammonium Sulphate or Kan Gawara and 300 grams per acre of Boron (5%) dissolved in 100 litres of water. Boron is essential for pollination and for increasing the number of grains in the ear.

✨ Fourth irrigation and fertilizers:
The fourth irrigation is given to the wheat crop when the grain is at the milky stage. When milk is forming in the grains, a nutrient spray is very beneficial to increase grain size and weight. For this, dissolve NPK (5-15-45) or 1 kg of Potassium Nitrate or 1 litre of Bio Stimulant Lethal and 1 litre of Ken 30 (Liquid Potash) in 100 litres of water and spray per acre. This makes the grain bold, heavy and shiny.

🔸 Wheat Irrigation Schedule

The new wheat variety Rizq 2026 can tolerate drought, but timely irrigation makes the grains bold, heavy and shiny.

• ✅ First irrigation: at tillering, 20 to 25 days after sowing
• ✅ Second irrigation: at the booting stage, when the ear is forming inside the stem
• ✅ Third irrigation: at the milky stage, when milk is forming in the grain. Remember to avoid irrigating during strong wind so the crop does not lodge
• ✅ Fourth irrigation: if needed, apply the fourth irrigation when the grain is fully mature. If drought strikes at this time, the grain will remain thin and shrivelled, which badly affects the yield. If it rains at this time, the fourth irrigation is not needed

🔸 Weed Control in Wheat

Weeds (little seed canary grass/dumbi sitti, wild oats, bathu, etc.) cause a 30 to 40 percent reduction in wheat yield. After the first irrigation, when the soil reaches proper moisture (wattar), choose a good and economical herbicide spray on the advice of Agriculture Department experts and spray uniformly.
