The
project under consideration aims at increasing production of wheat
through awareness among the farmers about the use of quality seed and promoting mechanical sowing techniques by ensuring placement of seed and fertilizer at proper depth. Another main objective is to create awareness among the farmers about use of quality seed, weedicides and fungicides by conducting farmers days and seminars.
Main
objective of the project is to increase fruit especially mango,
citrus and vegetable production in the Punjab province. Organizing
farming community under Farmer Field Schools (FFS) system. Educating
farmers in mango, citrus and vegetable production technology. Minimizing
the use of pesticides to the tune of 20-25% on fruits & vegetables
through a comprehensive and well organized training programme in
IPM techniques. To enhance mango, citrus and vegetable production
qualitatively and quantitatively for foreign exchange earnings.
Popularisation of off-season vegetable production through low cost
