Pyrethrum seeds for sale

Pyrethrum-Chrysanthemum cinerarifolium
Aromatic perennial, leaves dissected into liner segments. Flowers white, 2-5cm.across.Pyrethrum refers to several Old World plants of the genus Chrysanthemum (e.g., C. coccineum) which are cultivated as ornamentals for their showy flower heads. Pyrethrum is also the name of a natural insecticide made from the dried flower heads of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium and Chrysanthemum coccineum.

Other uses of the herb: The dried flower heads are used as an insecticide, they are a source of the commercially available insecticide "pyrethrum", which is non-toxic to mammals. This species is less effective than T. cinerariifolium. Only the yellow disk rays contain pyrethrins. Once dried, the flowers or the powder retain their insecticidal properties almost indefinitely.

Propagation of Pyrethrum: Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse. Only just cover the seed and do not allow the pot to dry out. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter. Plant out in late spring or early summer. Division in spring. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found that it is best to pot up smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a greenhouse or cold frame until they are growing away well. Plant them out in the summer or the following spring.

Responsible for national policies and programmes aimed at achieving agricultural growth. Part of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Initially, the project would be launched in Punjab, the country's granary. It would later be extended to Sindh and other provinces.

Essentially, the motive behind this initiative is to provide farmers a platform to access latest information on prices. As Bucha said, growers have so far sold their crop at lower rates but with the proposed information system under the e-agriculture project, they would get better prices as it would help them get relevant information regarding agro-inputs, crop production technologies, agro-processing, market support, agro-finance and management of farm agri-business.

Besides this, a system to forecast crop production, input management and command area management could provide information on expected agriculture produce. The website would also provide information on watershed management, land and water resources development, drinking water potential mapping precision management, natural disaster management, fishery management, hill area development and post-harvest management were the key areas, where the information technology could play its imperative impact.

According to Ahmad Jawad, chief executive officer of Harvest Tradings, the information technology could provide appropriate and location-specific technologies for the farmers to furnish timely and proficient advice. For agricultural extension management, the role of information technology can be encouraged for future resource documentation.

Jawad felt that state-of-are information and communication technologies could generate new openings to bridge the gap between haves and the have-nots.

"There are many possibilities of integration of ICT in agriculture and rural development," he said. This technology provides an opportunity to the developing nations and underdeveloped nations so that they can build up their strategies and compete with the developed nations.

"Information is the key in every sector for development. Agriculture is not an exception. It helps take timely action, prepare strategies for the next season or year, speculate the market changes and avoid unfavourable circumstances," he said. (Writer-South Asia)
