This document discusses the problems and prospects of forage production in rainfed areas of Pakistan. Some of the key problems mentioned are sparse natural vegetation, poor quality grass, persistent nutritional stress for livestock, lack of improved fodder varieties and preservation techniques, small land holdings, and lack of irrigation and processing facilities. Prospects discussed include mixed farming with legumes to supplement crop residues, mono-cropping of drought-tolerant crops like sorghum, and introducing improved winter rabi fodder varieties and summer kharif crops like guar to increase green fodder availability during lean periods. The demonstration of oat, barley and guar varieties was appreciated by participating farmers.

Grass and legumes increase the aggregation of soil particles, improvement soil structure and water holding capacity of the soil. Grasses give quicker protection to eroded lands.To established gully sides, water-ways, gully heads and check dams, grass is perhaps the most effective and economical tool. It can be put to various uses in soil conservation, viz; Strip cropping, rotational cropping or lay farming. Stabilization of bunds and terraces. Stabilization of gullies, diversion or drainage channels. Stabilization of sand dunes. Meadows and pastures on steep slops. Fertility builder for eroded soil.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

6. Introduction
– In rainfed farming system, animal husbandry plays a crucial role in
rural economy and is closely linked with cropping system and
dominated by small and the landless farmers.
– Livestock feeding is a critical component of livestock management
in the rainfed farming system. Under rainfed conditions, fodder is
not evenly available throughout the year. The crop residues and
crops specifically grown for fodder purposes forms the bulk of the
feed for both cattle and buffalo. The livestock holders access to
grazing land help in a relatively more economical way to meet the
dietary needs of the animals.
7. Continue… .
– The supplementation of concentrates is another way to
nourish the animals during fodder scarcity periods. to
increased demand, improved forage crops such as
multicut oats, berseem, Lucerne, sorghum- sudan grass
hybrids, sorghum, maize and millet have been developed.
8. Problems
The natural vegetation is sparse and poorly available in
the Pothwar area.
Poor quality and scanty grass and scrub vegetation exist
on steep eroded soils and mountain sides, but extensive
grazing does not permit this vegetation to thrive.
Persistent nutritional stress.
Lack of improved fodder varieties.
Lack of fodder preservation techniques for lean period.
9. Continue… .
Small land holdings.
Lack of sufficient irrigation facilities.
High cost of cultivation.
Lack of processing facilities.
Poor dissemination of knowledge in various aspects of
forage production.
10. Prospects
1-Mixed farming:
– should continue in a situation of small land holding; this
has been greatly facilitated by mechanisation. Since crop
residues are deficient in protein and minerals, the
forages grown should preferably be legumes so that poor
crop residues could be better supplemented.
– In milk-shed areas with adequate demand and sufficient
facilities for marketing liquid milk, agriculture has shifted
towards dairying and commercial forage production.
11. Continue… .
– In large parts of the Barani areas during winter, the
wheat and barley crops have admixtures of rapeseed,
chickpeas, and mustards. The summer crops have
admixtures of maize, millets, sorghum, and guar. Some
part of every crop is fed to livestock.
12. 2-Mono-Cropping
– The mono-cropping system for rain-fed areas may be
wheat-fallow, sorghum-fallow, wheat-wheat and
sorghum-sorghum. Continuous sorghum may produce
four times as much grain as wheat fallow cropping
system. This is because sorghum has in built
characteristics to use water efficiently and tolerate
drought conditions. Barley, because of low water
requirements, may be another option to replace wheat
in low rainfall areas, 52 per cent production of barley is
obtained from rain-fed areas.
13. Results And Discussion
– Rabi and Kharif Fodder Intervention In barani Pothwar,
rabi fodders are cultivated in winter and harvested in
summer. Usually in rainfed areas, green fodder remains
deficient in summer season.
– Fodder deficiency effects both animal and human
population of the area. Some time prolonged bad
weather conditions forced farmers to sell their animals.
14. Continue… .
– Hence to resolve this important issue cultivation of improved
rabi fodder varieties like combination of oat vetch and barley
vetch has been demonstrated. Majority of the farmers (42%)
preferred to test oat sole and (30%) farmers have grown
barley sole instead of combination of these varieties.
– Similarly, to increase the green fodder availability in winter
lean period (December-February) improved variety of guar
has been introduced. Almost all participating farmers have
appreciated this intervention.
