Mr.
Naseer a Govt. employee but having innovative mindset, keenly interested in
agriculture and especially new technologies got a CSISA planter and used its
three functions successfully. During the current wheat crop he used the planter
for promoting 0-til wheat planting after rice and maize
in his own and adjoin village and covered an area of 55 acres on custom hiring
basis in addition to his own 6 acres. CSISA Pakistan conducted a field day on a demonstration block of 22 acres at chak # 172
in collaboration with farmer. The farmer representatives expressed their views
about this technology and hoped for substantive increase in area in the next
wheat crop. They appreciated the cost saving involved in land preparation, timely
crop planting, water saving and the same time better yield. The CSISA team
comprising of Rana Farman Ali- Ext. Agronomist, Abdul Hameed- Res. Associate
and Hafiz Naveed Ramzan Res. Associate joined the event. CSISA team explained
in detail the various CATs, benefits and their role in future agriculture. As
rice is grown in the village and the surrounding area so special emphasis was
given on DSR and its adoption. 103 farmers participated in the function.
