The rain which occurred yesterday will have a positive impact on wheat, gram and other crops.
Director General Punjab Agriculture Department Extension Adaptive and Research (A&R) Muhammad Zafar Yab Haider said this while taking to APP on Thursday.
He said, "Removing weeds from standing crops is very important as they consume moisture and food which are to be utilised by crops." He said pulses including gram in rain-fed areas would also benefit from the rain.
The DG said that farmers must complete wheat sowing within recommended time period to achieve good amount of yield.
