Indian Farming June 1944

1944

Nitrogen in the soil is adequate for the vegetative growth of the plants and the crop therefore shows no symptoms of tirak till the regular flowering season sets in at the end of August. [...] The moisture from the upper non-saline layers of the soil generally dries up in about 10 days after the usual irrigation while the presence of salinity in the sub-soil interferes with the normal absorption of water from the deeper layers. [...] The keystone of the whole project is the huge dam nearly a mile in length pierced with 66 openings with huge gates for controlling the flow of the water of the Indus and diverting it to the high level side canals. [...] Due to these vagaries of the river and the fact that the durtion and the height of the floods could not be foretold or regulated agriculture was precarious in Sind and the general standard of cultivation low. [...] The Agricultural Deparment has been carrying on research to study the influence of varying water doses on the yields of crops and to determine the optimum amount and the time of application of water to the different crops.
