Change in timing of cultivation

Changes in sowing timing of wheat have been observed amongst the farmers in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Due to climate change, they have started sowing of wheat two weeks to one month prior the traditional sowing dates.
Each day of sowing delay causes roughly 0.8–1.5% yield loss according to field experiments.
Also, in general, late sown crop (e.g. wheat sown in December) are more prone to pest attack than timely sown crop (e.g. wheat sown in November). Early sowing of wheat in general increases the yield.
