Agriculture is the main profession of the people of Sindh. The prosperity
of the hole province depends on agriculture.
Agriculture is the the back-bone of our economy.
Agriculture products :
Our farmers are playing a very important role in
our daily life. But they are getting low
production. The main reason for low production in
our agriculture is the use of old and traditional
methods of cultivation by our farmers. They do not
use good quality seeds and fertilizers, where as
our government has made a good help by making
industries such as Angro, FJFC (Fauji Jordan
Fertilizers Company)....etc. They even not use
pesticides properly to protect their crops.
Our farmers have not started using new methods of
agriculture to increase their production. By using
new techniques we can produce large quantities of
food-gains and farm products per acre. The land of
our province is very fertile. If we use modern
techniques regularly in our agriculture, we shall
certainly produce much more than our needs. In
order to get good crops, we need sufficient water,
good quality seeds fertilizers and modern
agricultural implements.
Agriculture Department :
Our government has established Agriculture
Department for the development of agriculture.
Some very important agricultural institutions are
functioning in Tando Jam, (District Hyderabad) for
this purpose. There is a very big Agriculture
college at Tando Jam. It provides facilities for
practical training. Atomic Energy Agriculture
Research Center is also established at Tando Jam.
The farmers are helped by the use of atomic energy
in agriculture and also to increase their farm
production. Plant Protection Department is
situated at Karachi. The responsibility of this
department is to protect crops from germs and
pests.
Land And Water :
There is no scarcity of land in our province. Most
of the land in Sindh is left barren because of
non-availability of sufficient water. There are
several ways to get water for irrigation.
-
The first
natural source of water is rain, but
unfortunately it rains so little in Sindh that
we cannot cultivate our lands by the help of
rainy water alone.
-
The second
source of water is tube-well. The electronic
energy is used to draw water from the wells.
This method is not very successful in Sindh
because the water in most of the well is
saltiest, which is not suitable for irrigation
purpose. The rest areas where water is cleared,
is being used for agriculture.
-
The third
source of water is canal. We have dug many
canals starting from the banks of river Indus to
irrigate our lands.
