Vision / future plan Continuation of research activities considering weather conditions and requirements of rain-fed areas for: - Evaluation/Development of Wheat varieties. Selection and introduction of Pulses and Oilseed crops. Selection and introduction of high yielding and nutritious Gawara crop for the semi irrigated areas of Kohat Division. Research on the introduction of non-traditional crops e.g. Mushroom, Asparagus and Caralluma etc. Research on the use of organic and mineral fertilizers for profitable/economical crops yields. Research and Development on Guava to produce true to type plants for farming community. Raising of fruit nurseries i.e. Pomegranates, citrus, fig, peaches and grapes for farming community. Training of farmers in soil sampling and nursery growing. Development Technological Improvement In Research And projects / ADP Strengthening Of Agricultural Research Stations Of KPK Three wheat varieties (KT-2000, KT-2003 & KT-2010) Achievements have been released for rain fed areas. Millet variety (KT-98) has also been evolved for barani area. Candidate wheat lines (KT-325,335, and 338) have been selected as high yielding and is included in the final process of testing. Canola line (SPS1 and SPS2 in final stages) Research work on Caralluma (Chungan) has been started from 2012-13 under the project and “Research Development of Caralluma in KPK” has been completed in June 2015. Research work on Guava has been started from 2012-13 under the project entitled and Development on “Research Guava” has been completed in June 2015. Developed the cultivation technology of Caralluma (Chungan). During last year (2015-16), 11.4 ton wheat seed of different varieties was produced. Published several research papers in National & International Journals. Delivered many radio talks on different crops in Karkeela programme of Radio Pakistan Peshawar.
