A training of field assistants of Agri. Ext. was held at Ayub Agricultural Research Institute,
Faisalabad on
17th December, 2011. Twenty five field assistants from different districts of
Punjab participated the training.
Wheat crop planting and adoption of CA technologies came under discussion. Participants individually gave an overview of the situation in their working area. It is interesting to note that farmers are well aware of importance of laser land leveling in most parts of the province and relay wheat planting is spreading in cotton zone. While addressing the participants, Rana Farman Ali explained the role of CA practices to ensure timely planting, reducing cost of production, adding input efficiency and fighting rising heat and drought. LLL, 0-til and bed planting, DSR, relay wheat planting in cotton and ZT cotton planting were discussed in detail with the help of pictorial support. He urged the participants to translate the CA message in the farmer field. Multifunction CSISA planter (ZTBP) was liked by the participants. The participants also expressed their experiences/opinions about the CA technologies.
