LAHORE : Research on seed technology is an important need of the hour and it is the responsibility of the Punjab Agriculture Research Board (PARB) to provide technical support to seed companies, said provincial minister here Wednesday.
We can improve the seed quality by developing high yielding diseases resistant lines, said Provincial Minister for Agriculture Syed Hussain Jahanian Gardezi while presiding over a meeting on the occasion of his visit to the new office building of Punjab Agricultural Research Board here at Johar Town.
