STAFF REPORT FSD: Terming corn a profitable crop for farmers, agricultural experts have advised farmers to use best quality corn hybrid seeds to increase the production, saying that private sector needs to be encouraged to introduce new seed varieties so that crops productivity could be enhanced.
They expressed these views during their recent visit to a hybrid corn field trial site, which serves as a learning centre for farmers in Gojra, Punjab. The visit was organised by Monsanto Pakistan.
The experts said the adoption of best quality hybrids is also important because the weather patterns are changing and farmers desperately need seeds that can cope with the harsh weather conditions.
