Wheat production to exceed target

sticides were used for wheat crop, which had reduced to 1720 metric tonne this year.  Singh felt that less use of these chemicals was a good omen towards preserving state's ecological balance.  Singh said that government would instruct agencies like Punseed and Markfed to provide farm literature brought out by PAU to the farmers at the time of sale of seed and other agricultural goods.  Recommendations from the University would facilitate scientific farming in a cost-effective manner, he opined.
