Organic Wheat in Pakistan

Organic wheat: Pakistan is one of the blessed countries in the world having ample diversity in ecological and environmental aspects.

Diverse environments coupled with varying landscapes provide comparative advantage for cultivation of crops, fruits and vegetables throughout the year. These landscapes provide year round variability in terms of temperature and precipitation. Early vegetables and fruits can also be grown.

Growing wheat organically (without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides) may be better for the environment and your health, but it does not alter the structure of the gluten proteins in the grain. Therefore, all wheat including organic wheat will contain glute.

Organic fertilizers including farmyard, sheep and poultry manures may use for crop production as a substitute of the chemical fertilizers. Poultry manure may use as an organic amendment to restore degraded soils wheat is one of the cereal crops which is most commonly grown in organic farming systems while chemical fertilizers consume a large amount of energy and money.
