Agriculture experts in Pakistan have identified the shortage of certified cotton seeds in Sindh and the sale of substandard seeds by private companies as the main reasons for losses related to the cotton crop, and have called for a dialogue between institutions to produce good quality cotton seeds. Cooperation is said to be indispensable. Under the aegis of the Seed Production and Development Center (SPDC), the Vice-Chancellor of Sindh Agricultural University (SAU) inaugurated an experimental field for the production and expansion of cotton varieties, for the development of which an agreement has been signed with United Bank Limited (UBL). The agreement was signed. Speaking at the inaugural function, SAU Vice-Chancellor Dr. Fateh Marri said that cotton was the crop that was most affected by the recent floods, which caused billions of rupees in losses to farmers in Sindh. Farmers are facing shortage of certified cotton seeds during the current season.
He said that to tackle the problem, SAU in collaboration with UBL is doing research on certified cotton and wheat seeds. About 80 percent of the cotton seed requirement in the province is being met by private companies, most of which are unregistered companies, that buy cotton seed from cottonseed factories and sell it without processing, causing irreparable loss to cotton farmers.
Dr. Fateh Marri said that his university has developed a new variety of cotton named SAU-1, which is in the registration stage and research work is going on in collaboration with UBL to meet the shortage of quality certified cotton and wheat seeds. Used to be.
SPDC Director Prof. Zahoor Ahmad Soomro said that more productive and disease-resistant seeds will be produced through the research sector, after which the farmers of the state will be able to get rid of substandard seeds.
Renowned agricultural breeder Karam Khan Kaleri said that SAU has taken important steps in the field of wheat and cottonseed. Institutions will have to make joint efforts to reduce the agrarian crisis, especially with regard to seeds.
Dr. Shahnawaz Marri, coordinator of the project, said that apart from experts, university graduates are also involved in the research work. By the end of the project, they will emerge as a trained force for propagation of new seeds.
