Pakistan and US launch project in Pakistan Agricultural Sector

faisal — Thu, 23 May 2013 11:36:48 +0000

ISLAMABAD: The US Agency for International Development (USAID), theInternational Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), and the PakistanAgricultural Research Council (PARC) launched a new project to expand the use of modern technologies in Pakistan’s agriculture sector.

PARC Chairman Dr Iftikhar Ahmad said that with the strengthening of relations between CIMMYT and PARC, country’s agriculture sector will boost and particularly enhance wheat and maize production during a high level foreign CIMMYT delegation visit to NARC Campus headed by Dr Tom Lumpkin.

The PARC chairman also earmarked site for Establishment of CIMMYT office in Pakistan at NARC Islamabad PARC and the Mexico-based CIMMYT announced the launching of the four-year $30 million Agricultural Innovation Project (AIP) in Islamabad.

The AIP will be implemented in earnest on April 1, and run through March 31, 2017. In this ceremony USAID, Islamabad Mission Director Jack Conlyn, Representative of the Ministry of National Food Security and Research secretary, PARC chairman, CIMMYT Director of Global Wheat, H J Braun, Provincial DGs Agri Research and Extension and their Representatives, VC of Pakistani’s major agri universities, representative of several ongoing USAID projects, USAID Michael Wyzan, Alan Davis Director of EGA at Islamabad and many other eminent Pakistani scientists were present.

The project will also include expertise from sub-awardees International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), World Vegetable Centre (AVRDC), International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), University of California (UC), David and PARC.

Dr Ahmad said that AIP’s overall objective is to promote economic growth by brining more farms, and more acres, under improved technologies and management practices and to increase the productivity and production value of livestock, horticulture, and cereals. The project will foster the creation of a demand-driven, result-oriented agricultural researchcommunity and enhance linkages between Pakistan’s agricultural research community, the global community or scientists and Pakistani private sector and civil society.

He further said that the CIMMYT will be the primary implementing partner and prime grantee, managing and taking responsibility for the overall program and overseeing the cereal systems portfolio. The ILRI will manage and support the livestock portfolio, while AVDRC will play a similar role in annual horticulture, IRRI will do for rice, and UC-Davis will have responsibility for human resources development and perennial horticulture. Importantly PARC will be oversee the competitive grants component along with providing leadership in the formation of organization similar to the Punjab Agricultural ResearchBoard in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and Balochistan.

“Boosting Pakistan’s economy is one of our top assistance priorities. That’s why this project will work to modernize agricultural practices to increase the production and quality of livestock and horticultural goods. This in turn will enhance economic development in the country,” said USAID Country Director Jonathan M Conly at the launch of the project. Innovative technologies, introduced in Pakistan with support from the US Government, spurred the Green Revolution in the 1960s and 1970s. The adoption of improved rice and wheat varieties, combined with strategic policies and investments, led to a doubling of yields and output in those two decades. With investment in research, Pakistan transformed its agricultural sector into a driver for economic growth.

Currently, Pakistan’s agricultural sector is growing at a much slower pace than other sectors. “Pakistan’s agricultural productivity has fallen behind comparable countries with similar agro-ecologies,” said CIMMYT Director General Thomas Lumpkin. “There is a tremendous potential for growth, but we must act now.”

Promoting economic growth is one of the many ways that the United States is helping to create a brighter future for the people of Pakistan. The United States funds large-scale energy projects that will provide electricity to two million households by the end of 2013. The US has rebuilt and renovated 800 schools and has provided scholarships to 12,000students to attend universities in Pakistan.

And the US is helping to create jobs and increase incomes with programmes that boost agricultural output, build roads, and help entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

Sindh approved new high-yield wheat seed varieties

faisal — Thu, 23 May 2013 10:05:09 +0000

SINDH Seed Council recently approved and released two wheat varieties ‘Benazir-2012’ and ‘Hammal’ for cultivation by farmers in the province. During trial production, these varieties gave much higher yield per acre than the ones already in use.

Officials of the Sindh Agriculture Department say that, in the best case scenario, growers using Benazir-2012 can get 3480kg per acre and those who go for Hammal can obtain 2840kg per acre. But these are their potential yields. “Actual average yields may differ depending upon the area under cultivation and a host of other factors such as the use offertiliser and proper caring,” an official told Dawn.

He said that during trial cultivation the new varieties, however, offered higher average yields in lesser maturity periods thus raising hope for their second sowing within a cropping season. Besides, Benazir-2012 has also shown strong rust-resistance and Hammal can be cultivated even in areas where water supply is low. These qualities make them a better choice for growers.

Seed Council officials say they have also approved for general cultivation a new variety of sugarcane ‘Chandka’ that has a potential yield of eight tonnes per acre against the current national average of six tonnes per acre.

In trial runs, this variety has shown resistance to water logging and it can be cultivated in all ecological zones of Sindh. Besides, its sucrose content goes up to 10.61 per cent, slightly higher than that of other varieties in use.

After recent devolution of agriculture, the role of provinces has become more crucial in farm research though a number of federally-run institutions are still involved in development ofnew seed varieties. Punjab had launched more than half a dozen new varieties of wheat and rice in 2011 and its provincial seed council is expected to introduce another few varieties in 2013 or

2014, officials reached by Dawn claimed.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan lag behind in development of new food crop varieties but some parts of Balochistan are on the list of the areas across Pakistan where trial cultivation of two Chinese hybrid wheat varieties has been successful. And now the country is going to import seeds of these varieties to start cultivation in the province.

Introducing better seeds is just a part of overall agricultural research and development and in this area Pakistan’s performance is dismal. Director General of National Agricultural Research Centre Dr Muhammad Sharif says that for every $100 of agricultural output, Pakistan’s spending on research is just 21 cents. India’s spending is double that amount.

He says that input of human resources in agricultural research is also very low: agricultural researchers account for only 18 per cent of the PHDs in the country.

Pakistan Agricultural Research Council introduced aerobic rice production technology and fatter rural purse (due to higher support prices), led some entrepreneurs to make limited use of artificial insemination of animals for improved livestock breeding. With aerobic rice production technology, growers can skip transplantation of paddy seedlings and grow rice just as they grow wheat or maize. A couple of progressive growers are reported to have used this technology in selected districts of Sindh and Balochistan.

“We can not only conserve water and need to employ a much lesser number of field workers (in growing aerobic rice) than the numbers we require in traditional paddy cultivation. Besides, by using this technology we can double the per-acre yield,” said one such farmer from Sanghar. Officials of provincial agriculture department say that the trendto grow rice this way may catch up in near future.

Another worthy development in the field of rice research is evolution of new variety of rice at a university in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In cultivation in a limited area, the new variety has yielded the longest-ever grains. Agricultural universities in Sindh, KPK and Punjab are making efforts to expedite work on agricultural research but authorities say paucity of funds keep them from aggressively pursuing new projects.

Private sector companies are also not coming up in a big way to focus on agricultural research and development. “Cash-rich companies can afford to join hands with global seed development institutions to see how their research can be helpful in boosting food crops productivity in our country,” says chairman of Agri Forum Pakistan Mr. Ibrahim Mughal.

For example, Pakistan can increase output of sugarcane by a big percentage by adopting and localising the ‘Plene’ technology developed in Brazil. Plene is a technology that simplifies sugar cane planting, using buds that are much smaller in size than normally used in cane planning and these are treated against diseases and infections.

The use of this technology saves the cost of inputs by about 15 per cent and enhances perhectare production by five to 15 tonnes. After using this technology for two years at home, Brazil has started exporting it and South Africa has acquired it to raise its own production of sugarcane.

Vegetable Diseases Control and Pesticides

faisal — Thu, 23 May 2013 08:38:43 +0000

Fungicides can be a great help in preventing diseases when properly applied to the plant foliage. Since fungicides are preventive, they should be applied before the disease occurs, or as soon as the first symptoms of disease appear.

Some vegetable diseases require specific fungicides for their control. An outline of diseases of specific vegetables, disease description, suggested cultural and chemical control and comments follows this section.

Fungicides are available primarily as wet-table powders, dry flowables and dusts, but a few are sold as emulsifiable concentrates, flowables and liquids. Wettable powders (WP) and dry flowable (DF) are formulated in such a manner as to be readily suspendable in water. Dusts (D) should not be mixed in water, but applied directly to the plant. Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) fungicides contain an emulsifying agent that makes them readily suspendable in water. Flowable (F) fungicides are finely ground wettable powders that are suspended in a liquid.

Some soil fungicides are available as granules and are applied in the furrow at planting. Dust and spray fungicides may also be used as in furrow treatments for seedling disease control. http://zaraimedia.com/

Never attempt to use dust formulations of fungicides in spray solutions. Dusts will not suspend in the spray solution. Wettable powder formulations may appear similar to dusts, but they are formulated to be suspended in spray solutions. Foliar sprays will aid in controlling leaf spots, rusts, mildews, anthracnose and fruit rots. Foliar sprays are not effective against vascular wilts or root rots. Foliar sprays are protectants, because they form a protective layer of fungicide over the surface of the fruit and foliage. Disease agents (bacteria and fungi) that land on these fungicide-coated surfaces are killed or prevented from infecting the plant.

Most fungicides are not effective in inhibiting disease organisms once they have infected a plant. It is imperative that foliar fungicides be applied prior to infection of the plant. A spray schedule should be followed that maintains a protective fungicide layer on the foliage and fruit during favorable infection periods. By carefully monitoring their vegetables, some gardeners can usually delay the first fungicide application until the first sign of disease. Then a 7-14 day spray schedule should be followed. During rainy or humid weather, spray application intervals should be shortened.

Proper pesticide mixing and spraying plays a very important part in achieving disease control. Most home gardeners will find a 1-2 gallon compressed-air sprayer adequate for applying foliar sprays. A nozzle with a cone pattern will provide the most effective coverage of plant foliage. Keep the pressure up to insure small spray particle size and good coverage.

Sprayers should be cleaned and rinsed after each use. Hose-end sprayers are not very effective in applying fungicides to vegetables. Never use the same sprayer for fungicides and insecticides that has been used for herbicides. Residues of certain types of herbicides are very difficult to remove from sprayers. These residues may cause crop injury if a herbicide-contaminated sprayer is used in applying fungicides or insecticides.

Farmers demand approval of genetically modified corn

faisal — Thu, 23 May 2013 07:41:19 +0000

LAHORE: Farmers of corn-growing areas have reiterated their demand to approve genetically modified corn for commercial plantation in Pakistan because this technology seems to have the potential to reduce losses caused by various insect pests and weeds that in turn result in increasing the production of corn crop.

Farmers belonging to Sahiwal, Pakpatan, Arifwala, Mian Channu and Vehari made this demand during their visit to a field trial site in Yusafwala, Sahiwal where Monsanto is showcasing its genetically modified corn product ‘VT Double Pro’ to provide all the stakeholders especially farmers an opportunity to practically witness the latest agricultural technologies and innovations.

On the occasion, Monsanto Pakistan’s Technology Development Officer Asif Nazir, while briefing the farmers, said that biotechnology is the fastest adopted crop technology in the world, adding that Pakistan can increase the productivity of various crops by embracing this revolutionary technology. He informed the farmers that Monsanto had completed the field trials of the product and now they were just awaiting government’s nod for commercial release of the product in the country. “We (Monsanto) have submitted our application to the official body – National Biosafety Committee – for approving commercial release of our GM corn product in Pakistan and would hand over this technology to you (farmers) as soon as we get go-ahead from NBC,” said Nazir.

The farmers said that agriculture was the backbone of country’s economy so bringing improvement in this sector was imperative for development, adding that latest technology would certainly play a key role in this regard. “Some of us (farmers) did not have much knowledge about biotech crops earlier but now, after practically seeing the GM corn field, we have learnt a lot about biotechnology and are sure that crop biotechnology has the potential to deliver in Pakistan,” remarked Chaudhry Tahir Mahmood, a progressive farmer from Sahiwal.

The farmers also urged the government to play a proactive role for farmer education on biotech crops so that Pakistan could benefit from this technology in a better way. The farmers urged the need for more debate on biotechnology in Pakistan to highlight the benefits of biotechnology and develop understanding among farmers about biotech crops. “We should utilise this technology keeping in mind our own needs,” said Chaudhry Asifwala, a grower from Vehari.

At the end, the visiting farmers thanked Monsanto Pakistan for providing them the opportunity to practically see how their corn technology works in the field and hoped that the government would approve GM corn as early as possible. Monsanto Pakistan’s representatives assured the farmers that their company would continue to take every possible step to aware them about the latest developments in agriculture.

How to Grow Blueberries

faisal — Thu, 23 May 2013 07:15:17 +0000

Blueberries are high in antioxidants, dietary fiber, and vitamin A. They are known to lower cholesterol due to high pectin content. They also contain ellagic acid, which in the lab has shown inhibiting effects on chemically induced cancers.

Planting Time:

Buy young blueberry bushes at a local nursery or online. Plant in the spring after all danger of frost has passed.

Spacing:

Space bushes 5-6 feet apart in rows about 8-10 feet apart.

Growing Notes:

Blueberries do best in clay and poor, rocky soils. Ideal pH is 4.0 to 4.5. Amend your soil to make it more acidic if needed, using granular sulfur.

Add lots of compost and organic matter to the soil when you plant. Mulch around the bushes and water well.

A newly planted blueberry bush will begin producing the second or third season after it’s planted. During the first blossom year, remove all blossoms. This helps root development and strengthens plants.

Pests and Problems:

Birds love blueberries! Consider draping blueberries in bird netting to deter them. Or build a walk-in blueberry cage (a light frame covered in bird netting), because birds sometimes fly under netting draped on top of plants.

In winter, rabbits and rodents may nibble on blueberry branches. Consider a chicken wire fence to protect tender bushes.

Maintenance:

Blueberries need one inch of water per week or more. Use caution with tap water, as it can raise the pH of the soil or damage blueberries with minerals. Mulch made of wood chips, sawdust, or shredded bark will help conserve moisture and keep soil pH low.

Fertilize in spring and again in late summer.

Prune bushes in the winter. Remove any dead or diseased branches. Slightly thin bushy plants. Trim height, but don’t cut away more than half an inch of the newest growth.

Harvesting:

Peak blueberry “season” is three weeks in July, but blueberry bushes will bear fruit until the frost. You know they’re ready when the berries are easily picked. When ripe, they have a grayish cast on a very blue color. A berry with a hint of red is not yet ripe. Cup a cluster of berries and rub gently with your fingers to pick ripe berries quickly.

Storage and Preservation:

Don’t wash blueberries until just before using. Chill them as soon as possible after picking. Freeze berries on a cookie sheet without washing, then move into freezer bags or containers. Rinse in cold water immediately before using.
