The before and After pics of Pakistan’s staple crop ‘Wheat’. Wheat is the most dominantly grown crop in Pakistan.

According to Regional Agriculture Research Institute, Bahawalpur:
“Wheat accounts for 37.1 % of the crop area, 65 % of the food grain acreage, and 70 % of the production. Mainly grown under irrigated conditions, wheats water requirements range from 20-21 in/acre. The Indus Plains with their favorable topography, rich soil, and good agricultural facilities have a much greater acreage planted to wheat.

In Pakistan, spring wheat is grown as a Rabi crop in the Sindh, Punjab, NWFP, and Balochistan provinces. In the northern parts of Balochistan, some winter wheat is cultivated on a small scale. The wheat-growing area was 8.371 million hectares and production was 18.90 million tons in 1997-80. The major production area is in Punjab (71.17 %), followed by the Sindh province (13.38 %). However, the yield per acre is slightly higher in Sindh (2,410 kg) as compared to Punjab (2,316 kg)”.

The Shalimar Gardens of Lahore are a testament to Mughal Empire. Built at the time when the empire was at it Peak. With its breathtaking views and un matched engineering that has truly tamed nature in the most magnificent manner. UNESCO recognized it as a World heritage site and this is how they describe the Garden:
“The Shalimar Gardens, constructed by Shah Jahan in 1641-2 is a Mughal garden, layering Persian influences over medieval Islamic garden traditions, and bearing witness to the apogee of Mughal artistic expression. The Mughal garden is characterized by enclosing walls, a rectilinear layout of paths and features, and large expanses of flowing water. The Shalimar Gardens cover 16 hectares, and is arranged in three terraces descending from the south to the north. The regular plan, enclosed by a crenellated wall of red sandstone, disposes square beds on the upper and lower terraces and elongated blocks on the narrower, intermediate terrace; within, elegant pavilions balance harmoniously arranged poplar and cypress trees, reflected in the vast basins of water” - UNESCO
