APRICOTS
MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON
Apricots are grown mainly in areas of mid-northern Balochistan.
Pakistan is the 4th largest producer of Apricots.
The apricots need to fulfil chilling units, meaning that they must be exposed
to cold for a certain period of time.
Winters must be cold (but not colder than -30°C) to allow for proper
dormancy.
Dry weather must exist at the time of maturity/harvest.
It is important that there should be no sudden and dramatic change in
temperatures in spring which kills the flowers.
Apricots grown in well drained soils with PH around 6.5
MANGOES
Mango requires a wet hot summer season with rainfall around 250mm.
This needs to be followed by a long dry winter.
Dry winter means that the plant is less susceptible to attacks by fungus etc.
It needs deep well drained loamy soil.
Mangoes are grown in southeastern Punjab and eastern Sindh.

TOBACCO
MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON
Tobacco plants are usually first grown in nurseries etc and then transplanted
in the fields when the risk of frost has passed.
They need light rainfall early on, followed by a period of bright sunshine with
rains in between, followed by a dry period at harvest
Tobacco is grown in central parts of Punjab, northern Balochistan and central
parts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
PULSES
Pulses require high temperatures but are highly susceptible to frost.
They can also tolerate high rainfall provided it doesn’t come at time of
pollination etc.
Also the soil must not be waterlogged or saline. Pulses can be grown on sandy,
loamy etc soils
Pulses are grown in eastern and western Sindh, along with north eastern
Punjab

MILLET
MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON
Millet requires moderate rainfall and is sensitive to frost.
It will not tolerate waterlogged soils or harsh drought.
They are grown in southeastern and northwestern Punjab, western Sindh,
and central and southeastern Balochistan
DATES
Dates are grown in parts of Balochistan and in parts of Tharparkar desert
(southern Punjab and eastern Sindh).
It needs long hot summers with high day and night temperatures.
It can tolerate fluctuations in temperature whether cold or hot.
Mild winters and a dry sunny time for harvest is also required.
They can grow in salty soils but they must be well drained
APPLES
Apples are solely grown in northern Balochistan.
They have the highest requirement of chilling units in fruits.
Winters must be cold to allow for proper dormancy.
These must be followed by rains during the growing season.

Dry weather must exist at the time of harvest.
MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON
Well drained loamy soils are best for growing apples
CITRUS FRUITS
They grow in tropical or subtropical climate with hot summers and moderate
rainfall.
They are also sensitive to frost and strong winds.
Most of the production is from Punjab including its central but mostly
southern parts.
Some citrus production also occurs in eastern parts of Sindh
BANANAS
Bananas are grown exclusively in southern Sindh.
They require a hot dry season lasting for around 2-3 months, with a mean
rainfall of around 10 cm.
Bananas are very sensitive to frosts, which can suspend maturity or even kill
the plant.
They are also very vulnerable to strong winds, which damage the fruit etc.
They require well drained alluvial soils

OILSEEDS
Oilseeds usually require average temperatures varying from 20-30°C.
It must also be noted that high temperatures can hamper or delay growth
and that frost kills the plants.
Oilseeds are tolerant to drought for some periods and require well drained
deep alluvial soils
They are grown in southern parts of Punjab and eastern parts of Sindh, along
with some northern parts of Punjab.
MAIZE
Maize needs a hot bright growing season to flourish.
It is very intolerant to frost and needs moderate rainfall well distributed
throughout growth.
It also needs well drained deep alluvial soils
It is grown in central Punjab and central parts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
