FAISALABAD: Subsidised super seeders are chopping paddy stubble into the soil for timely wheat sowing across the division.

According to the Agriculture Department handout, the wheat sowing campaign for 2026-27 is under way in Faisalabad Division. The focus is on drill sowing for better use of resources, lower production costs and higher per-acre yield.

Director Agriculture (Extension) Chaudhry Khalid Mahmood said the subsidised super seeders chop paddy stubble fine after the rice harvest and mix it into the soil for timely wheat sowing.

The method improves soil fertility and helps crop growth.

Farmers have been advised to calibrate the machine properly before use and to keep the set speed and proper seed depth, matching the tractor’s horsepower to the machine’s need.

They should ensure proper soil moisture, run the machine after the morning dew dries and take special care at field corners and edges.

The precautions improve super seeder performance, ensure uniform sowing, save fuel and help raise per-acre wheat yield.
