Based on farmers feedback, we have given an initial observation about the performance of best performing wheat varieties this year.
In this video, we have highlighted over all condition of current wheat crop which was grown during November 2022. With the grace of Allah Almighty, current wheat crop condition is very satisfactory and a bumper yield is expected this year. Due to war between Russia and Ukraine, there are chances of increase in the prices of wheat crop this year. The reason is that these two countries are the major exporters of wheat crop all over the world. Russia accounts for up to 18% of total wheat exports of the globe. Whereas, Ukraine accounts for up to 8% of the total wheat exports. Due to uncertain conditions, there are clear signs of hike in wheat prices soon.
More than a dozen varieties of wheat crop have been cultivated in the different parts of Punjab. Central Pujnab comprising Faisalabad, Toba Tek Singh, Okara and parts of Jang and Chiniot is the major bread basket of the country. We have highlighted about the performance of wheat varieties during the year 2022. According to our information, Akbar 2019 has performed better in the region of central Punjab. Fakhr e Bhakker and Bhakker Star both have performed better in Layya, Bhakker, irrigated Thal area and parts of South Punjab. Inspite of partial lodging, most of the wheat varieties have performed better than previous years. Faisalabad 2008 was cultivated in large scale and performed better than previous year. Out of the most recent varieties like Dikash 2021, Subhani 2021 and MH-2021, which were not sown on the large scale, all performed equally good.
