Pakistan: FAO, Haji Sons introduce modern vegetable seedling production
Twenty entrepreneurial female and 10 male farmers from districts Quetta, Nushki and Chagai, including some GoB extension and research staff, participated.
Training topics among others were: seed treatment, plant training, substrate preparation and mixing and transplanting of seedlings in the field.
Some of the promising results of this training were that male and female participants wanted to establish their own vegetable seedling nurseries in the districts with the help of AusABBA and Haji sons in 2018.
