24. Physical factors of Cash crops
Crop Temperature Rainfall Soil
Cotton 77 to 99F. 30 to 40 inches. Potash, Lime and
Nitrogen.
Wheat 50 to 60F for
plantation and 80 to
100F for harvesting.
20 to 30 inches. Proper quantity of
sand ,clay &
Nitrogen.
Rice 70F for sewing and
80 to 90f for
harvesting.
40 inches. Loam.
Sugarcane 65 to 80F. 40 to 70 inches. Phosphorus & lime .

25. Economical factors of Cash Crops

27. Ciultivation Areas of Wheat in Pakistan
• Less productive areas of wheat production are included in all the four
provinces of Pakistan. In these areas neither the land is fertile and smooth.
No arrangements of irrigation are possible, so the farmers have to depend
on rain. If it rains in time then it is possible to plant crop otherwise they
have to depend on other areas for food and their other requirements.

SECTOR OF PAKISTAN

used for agriculture.

33. Water Logging and Salinity

34. Low Per Hectare Yield

35. Inadequate Infrastructure

 Training of Farmers
 Prices of Agricultural Productivities

53. Conclusion
• Being an agrarian country,agricultural sector
of PAKISTAN’s economy is still
backward.Use of modern techniques,provision
of credit facilities,basic infrasfucture and
