Time for paddy plantation is here and it is an important crop of Punjab with an area of 3.10 million hectares, production of 19.14 million tonnes and an average yield of 61.67 quintals per hectare.
In 2020-21 and 2021-22 due to Covid-19 pandemic there was a widespread problem of migrant labour for paddy transplanting. Therefore, a large number of farmers opted for direct sowing of rice and as a result area under direct sowing increased sharply. This year the government is giving special attention for promotion of direct sowing of rice amongst farmers, said Jasvir Singh Gill from Department of Agronomy.
“During the Covid-19 period, most of the farmers used inclined plate planter having spray attachment and without spray attachment followed by PAU Lucky seed drill. First time users of these machines faced some problems while operating the machines in the field,” said Sunil Kumar from Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kheri.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
