College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprises (CAFRE) crops advisors are highlighting the impact that a wet autumn, in which winter cereals were sown over an extended period, has resulted in crops which now range from strong and well-developed to thin and backward.
High winter rainfall has left soil nitrogen (N) levels low – therefore, early N is a priority to kick-start them back into life.
Winter barley requires at least one third of its total N during late tillering, before mid-March and winter wheat the same proportion before the end of March. For thin and struggling crops, sow N earlier to encourage tillering.

Govt to convert a 12-year-old grant into equity in a questionable deal
ISLAMABAD:

The Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet on Thursday approved to sell 51% stakes in the Pakistan Credit Guarantee Company (PCGC) to Karandaaz Pakistan.
The UK’s Department for International Development and Bill Gates Melinda Foundation own the Karandaaz – an entity that is set up to give small loans.
