Experimental Latif Farm of SAU: Wheat, mustard seed mature; ready for harvest

HYDERABAD: The wheat and mustard crops cultivated for obtaining quality seed at the experimental Latif Farm of Sindh Agriculture University have matured and are ready for harvest. The Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Altaf Ali Siyal inaugurated the wheat harvesting and mustard threshing process.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Dr. Altaf Ali Siyal said that climate change was affecting agricultural production. During crop cultivation, farmers face several challenges such as water scarcity, uncertified seeds, unexpected rainfall and other difficulties, and despite these challenges, farmers often fail to obtain satisfactory profits. He emphasized that farmers in Sindh need to bring changes in the traditional agricultural system.

He further stated that Sindh Agriculture University was playing its role in ensuring food security. In this regard, he added that the seed production development center (SPDC) was providing certified basic and pre-basic seeds to farmers in Sindh. In addition, training workshops were being organized for farmers, agricultural experts and students.
