The Vice Chancellor of Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi visited the ongoing Wheat Campaign 2025, a joint initiative by the university and the Directorate of Agriculture (Extension), Government of Punjab, carried out under directions from the Secretary Agriculture, Punjab. The visit brought university experts and field teams face to face with farmers across the region to demonstrate practical techniques on standing wheat crops.<\/p>\n
Speaking to a large gathering of farmers, the Vice Chancellor urged adoption of modern agricultural practices to raise wheat productivity and reinforce sustainable food security. He emphasized that the Wheat Campaign focuses on transferring research into the field through hands-on training and live demonstrations so farmers can directly apply improved methods on their farms.<\/p>\n
The campaign highlights climate-smart cultivation practices, efficient irrigation methods and balanced fertilizer use to improve per-acre yields while conserving resources. University specialists presented scientific guidance tailored to local conditions, illustrating how simple changes in irrigation scheduling and nutrient management can lift productivity without increasing costs significantly.<\/p>\n
The Vice Chancellor praised the commitment of PMAS-AAUR agricultural experts and field teams for organizing awareness sessions across Punjab, noting that these collaborative efforts empower farmers with knowledge and tools to adopt sustainable farming. He reiterated the university\u2019s role in bridging the gap between academic research and practical application through continuous field support and capacity building.<\/p>\n
The Wheat Campaign serves as a coordinated platform to provide practical training, field demonstrations and technical advice aimed at improving wheat production provincewide. By focusing on climate-smart techniques and farmer-centric training, the initiative seeks to encourage widespread adoption of modern, sustainable practices that will strengthen Punjab\u2019s wheat output and long-term food resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
