Report

Introduction:-

Students of Muhammad Nawaz Shareef University of Agriculture

Multan avail a chance to visit Mumtaz khan manias agriculture farm situated at Tiba

Sultan Pur District Vehari Dated :-9-5-15 at 9:30 A.M farm consisting of 300 acre land

consisting of farm machinery,orchards(mango,citrus,grapes,date palm,papaya,oil seed

crops etc).students met with Mumtaz Khan,Al-e-imran.

Objective:-

to observe the farm agriculture practices

to observe latest farm machinery

to observe drip irrigation system

to observe the work of mechanical milk vacumer

to observe how remove stubbles and its uses

to observe the work of grass cutter machines

to observe the work of Farm yard manure spreader

Methdology:- Students of Muhammad Nawaz Shareef University of Agriculture read a

course I&D-312 in which they learn topic drip irrigation system theoretically and to learn it

practically they take a tour to Mumtaz khan manais farm.At 6:30A.M Students along with

Doc Alamgeer and Doc Iqbal were ready to go to farm and reached at 9:00A.M.There

they visit wheat field, grass field, drip irrigated citrus orchard,grape orchard,farm in which

machinery was present.

Results and Discussion:- At 9:00A.M students visit wheat field in which wheat

was harvested by Combine harvester.wheat straw which remain left in field is picked by

wheat straw bailer and automatically rolled and turn into bind by the rope. By this way

straw is being saved and used for animals.A common farmer who does not know the

importance of wheat straw, he burns this wheat straw and destroy organic matter which

can replenish its soil.wheat straw is being used in

paper industry

Tissue Paper industry

Chip board

Wheat straw bailer machine is driven by tractor and totally automatically operated.if we

save this wheat straw then we save 48 arab money.The bail weight is of 20 kg and as well

as 200 kg.this machine mostly used at night time because at day time straws are not

tighten fully and ultimately bails are not good formed.

The machine is imported from india

at the cost of 30 lakh.At this farm this machine is being work till 1990 and the straw are

saved and then used for animals by mixing with grass.The favourite bailer is square

shaped bailer.The expense of one bail is 30 rupees.At Toyota Multan Motors the picture

of bail is present for beauty of the Toyota Multan Motors.

After visiting wheat field students visit

Grass field.Mister Mumtaz Khan introduce the use of grass cutter machine.cutters are of

two types

Tractor driven grass cutter

Small engine grass cutter

Tractor driven machine are attached with tractor and cut the grass by the line.This

machine is mostly used to cut the Sorghum.

Small engine grass cutter are driven by the small

engine power(10hp) and this machine is very fast for cutting of the grass.One litre diesel is

being used for 3 days cutting of grass for 250 animals within 8 minute

The advantage of this machine is to save time and energy

After this students visit citrus orchard irrigated by drip irrigation system.citrus were

seedless.For drip irrigation citrus plant are planted in straight rows and the nozzles are

attached with main pipe line and these nozzles are laid around the two sides of the

plant canopy.

Nozzles are attached according to plant age and height.This method is

totally operated by main valve.

For drip irrigation 500 ft tank are used and this tank is

totally operated by solar power.Near the centre of tank a small tank is present to apply

the fertilizer.One bag is used for 5 acre.The requirement of water for plant for one day

is 36 litre.This irrigation system is very expensive and therefore used rare.This

machine is imported from india and being used till 1990.The efficacy of this system is

20 times more.This irrigation system is firstly used in Israel for an area of 390km. A fish farm was also present in which 5 type of fish

were present.The weight of fish is 1-1.25/kg.These fish does not mate with each

other.Formation of fish farm is useful for those land which is barren and can’t use for

plantation,in this type of soil sowing of fish crop is useful.

After this students visit farm yard manure spreader which is used to spread the

farm yard manure into field mechanically then they visit grape orchard.

Students saw all the machinery present in the farm.Mister Mumtaz told their usage.

.

After all of these activities there was a refreshment programme arranged by

Mister Mumtaz Khan for students. All the students took a group photo.

After refreshment Students went towards dairy farm,in this farm milk was extracted by

the use of Mechanical Milk vacumer and students observe that this machine is really

useful because this is time saving and milk is free from other residues from outer

sides.The machine was so fast that it extract milk within 10 minutes

After this student visit Head sidhnai.

Addition to Knowledge:-

The cow of this farm gives milk 62 litre/one day ,Punjab government awarded

Gold medal to Mister Mumtaz for this achievement

The weight of wheat of this farm per acre is 78 mons/acre ,Punjab Government

awarded Mister Mumtaz with tractor for this achievement

Conclusion:- Students learn how to spread water by drip irrigation system .this was opportunity

for students to learn those things more better which they read only in books and

don’t perform them

Students learn how a farmer manage his farm with new technologies as he uses

machines to save wheat straw ,he uses machine to extract milk because it save

time and pure milk obtained by this way

Students learn that there are many flaws in our education programme because

all seeds that are sowing are imported from india because in Pakistan no seeds

are produced.Farmers buy machines from other countries because Pakistan

does not make machines.

Recommendation:- Flaws should be removed that are present in our education programme for the

progress of Pakistan

Farmers that are illiterate,basic information should be provided to them that how

more efficiently they can use land and can get benefit
