CRS CROP BULLETIN CROPS SITUATION DECEMBER,2016
SUMMARY Wheat is the leading grain crop of Punjab ,largest acreage under single crop. Wheat contribute 10.0 % to the value added in agriculture and 2.1 % to GDP. Dry air/foggy atmosphere prevailed over most of the agriculture plains of the province. The NDVI profiles of the month of December shows increasing trend. Harvesting/crushing of sugarcane, seasonal vegetables and fruit orchids especially citrus were the major field operations in most of the agricultural areas of the Punjab during the month. The sowing of wheat crop has been completed in the Punjab. It has been reported that area under this crop is expected to decrease over the previous year. The germination/growth of crop is observed/ reported satisfactory in irrigated area areas while in barani area it is under stress due to dry weather conditions. The sowing of Gram crop has been completed in the Punjab. The that the area of gram crop is expected to slightly decrease. Growth of the crop is reported somewhat normal in plane area so far ,however it is affecting on sand dunes. The sowing of different oilseed crop has been completed. Germination and growth of the crop is reported satisfactory. The early sown crop is on flowering & pod formation stage.
The Potato crop sowing was completed. After field survey Potato Autumn acreage estimate was prepared. The area of potato crop 2016-17 placed at 402231 acres as compared to last year 3399857 acres which shows 0.59 % increase. The germination and growth of gram crop is reported satisfactory so far. The sowing of lentil and oilseeds crops has been completed. . The germination and growth of lentil and oilseeds is also reported satisfactory so far. Mean daily temperature remained normal to above normal by 1-4°C in all agricultural plains of the country. Mean daily temperature ranged between 14 to 16°C in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 15 to 18°C in Punjab. The night time temperature represented by mean minimum remained above normal in all the agricultural plains of the Punjab. The evaporative demand of the atmosphere represented by reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo normal to below normal in most of the agricultural plains of the country except Quetta valley in Balochistan, D.I. Khan in KP and Gilgit-Baltistan region where it remained slightly above normal due to mostly dry weather observed during the month in these areas. The highest value of ETo was estimated in Tandojam and D.I Khan.

RABI CROPS SITUATION 2016-17(Field Work) WHEAT The sowing of the crop has completed in the Punjab. The area is expected to decrease over the last year due to less moisture and dry weather. Germination of crop is reported satisfactory in irrigated areas while in barani tract it is under stress due to dry weather conditions. First irrigation, application of fertilizer and spraying of weedicidies to crop remained in progress during the fortnight. The Rabi acreage Survey of crop is in progress.
GRAM
The sowing of Gram has completed. It is reported that the area of gram crop is expected to slightly decrease. Growth of the crop is reported somewhat normal in plane area so far however; it is affecting on sand dunes. A sufficient rain is required in coming fortnightly for its proper growth.
OILSEE The Germination and growth of the crop is reported satisfactory. The early sown crop is on flowering & pod formation stage.
POTATO (AUT) The sowing of Potato (Autumn) crop has completed in the Punjab. Digging of early sown crop is in progress. Growth of the crop is reported satisfactory so far.
TOMATO
The sowing of the Tomato crop has completed in District Khushab (Khatta hills) but in other part of the Punjab its sowing will start after the month of January. The growth of crop in Khushab district is reported satisfactory. The fresh Tomato is available in local market.
ONION It is reported that preparation of onion nursery for spring season is in progress and it will transplant in the month of Jan-Feb. The autumn onion crop is available in the market. LENTIL The sowing of Lentil crop has completed. The area is expected to decrease over the last year. Germination and growth of the crop is reported satisfactory so far.
Fertilizers do not only assist in increasing yields and promoting healthy growth of plants but also in their development. They contain nitrogen which acts as a growth booster which can be characterized by the green color of plants. Phosphorus substance in fertilizers aids in the faster formation of seeds and root development. The availability of Nitrogen and Phosphate fertilizers remains normal in the month of November, 2016.
IRRIGATION WATER SUPPLY SITUATION Timely availability of water greatly influences the crop production and yields. In order to meet the agricultural needs, adequate and timely availability of water is an essential pre-requisite. The average uses of Water in Rabi 2016-17 season in the Punjab is about 19.751 MAF and Punjab share based on forecast of water availability is 16.160. The canal water supply during November , 2016 is 3.795 MAF as compared to last year 3.723 MAF shows an increase of 1.93%.
WEATHER SUMMARY FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER,2016 In Pakistan, winter rains generally start in the month of December. But this time dry continental air/foggy atmosphere prevailed over most of the agricultural plains of the country during the month. Accordingly, mostly dry weather was reported from the agricultural plains of the country except Peshawar in KP, Jhelum in Potohar region and Quetta valley in Balochistan where light rainfall reported during the month. Highest rainfall recorded in the country was 37 mm in Malam Jabba followed by 30.2 mm in Mirkhani, 29 mm in Dir, and 28 mm at Pattan. The evaporative demand of the atmosphere represented by reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) remained normal to below normal in most of the agricultural plains of the country except Quetta valley in Balochistan, D.I. Khan in KP and Gilgit-Baltistan region where it remained slightly above normal due to mostly dry weather observed during the month in these areas. The highest value of ETo was estimated in Tandojam and D.I Khan. The mean daily Relative Humidity (R.H) also remained below normal in most of the agricultural plains of the country except in Tandojam where it has been recorded above normal during the month. Significant drop in R.H was observed in areas of north western Balochistan and GB region. Maximum value of mean Relative humidity was observed 71% at Lahore followed by 70% at Sargodha, while the minimum value was observed 37% at Quetta due to prevailing dry weather conditions. From an overall analysis during December, it is evident that well below normal rains have been received in most of the agricultural plains of the country. Due to persisting dry spell, farmers may use alternate resources to irrigate crops to maintain the appropriate moisture conditions in the agricultural soils. Temperature Regime during December, 2016 Temperature plays vital role in the growth and development of crops. Thermal regime in this month remained mostly normal to warmer in the agricultural plains of the country. The main reason for this trend is because of below normal rains as well as cloudy skies in the agricultural plains. Mean daily temperature remained normal to above normal by 1-4°C in all agricultural plains of the country. Mean daily temperature ranged between 14 to 16°C in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 15 to 18°C in Punjab, rounded to 20°C in agricultural plaines of Sindh, 2 to 6°C in Gilgit-Baltistan region and it was observed 10°C in the high elevated agricultural plains of Baluchistan represented by Quetta valley. The night time temperature represented by mean minimum remained above normal in all the agricultural plains of the country except Tandojam in lower Sindh and GB where it was recorded below normal. The lowest minimum temperature recorded AS -6.8°C at Skardu. Agricultural soils showed mostly normal to warmer trend at shallow, intermediate and deep layers in the major agricultural areas of the country due to the dry weather conditions. From the general analysis of air and soil in this month, it is concluded that moisture stress is observed in the agricultural plains due to continuous dry weather during the season. However, moisture deficiency still exists in lower parts of the country. Further rains are needed particularly in rainfed areas for better soil moisture conditions and normal growth of wheat crop. Solar Radiation and Wind Regime during December, 2016 Total bright sunshine hours and solar radiation intensity remained normal to below normal in most of the agricultural plains of the country except Quetta valley, Rawalpindi in Potohar region and GB region where these values observed above normal. Mean wind speed throughout agricultural plains of the country ranged between 1 to 6 km/h with North-east to North-west and South trend. Maximum wind speed was observed 6km/h in D.I.Khan.
