FAISALABAD, (Muzaffargarh.City – 10th Dec, 2018 ) :Agriculture experts have advised the farmers to start Baharia sunflower cultivation from January and complete it by mid of February to get bumper crop.

Talking to APP, spokesman of the agriculture department said here on Monday the time from 1st January to 15th February was the most suitable for Baharia cultivation of sunflower.

Similarly, farmers of Faisalabad, Mianwali, Sargodha, Khushab, Jhang, Sahiwal, Okara, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Lahore, Mandi Bahauddin, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, Narowal, Attock, Rawalpindi, Gujrat and Chakwal district should cultivate sunflower crops from January 25 to February 15, he added.

The spokesman further said that growers should cultivate approved sunflower varieties like Hi-sun-33, Hi-sun-39, Agora-4, NK-278, FH-331, DK-4040, G-101 and 64-A-93 because these varieties are not only disease resistant but also give bumper yield.
