Pakistan is a major chickpea producer worldwide, with the following information:
Cultivated Area and Production: India and Pakistan together account for over 80% of the global chickpea cultivation area. In 2021, Pakistan ranked as the world’s seventh-largest chickpea producer by production.
Cultivated Area: Chickpea is an important winter grain legume grown in Pakistan under rain-fed conditions, with primary cultivation occurring in several provinces.
Seed cleaning machines play a vital role in chickpea cultivation in Pakistan. Their functions include:
Improving seed purity: They remove impurities such as dust, straw, and broken shells from chickpea seeds, making them purer and providing a good foundation for subsequent sowing and growth.
Selecting high-quality seeds: Through various methods such as winnowing, screening, eyelet sorting, and gravity sorting, they select strong, plump, and vigorous seeds, eliminating weak and insect-infested seeds, thereby improving seed quality and germination rate.
Grading by size: They grade seeds based on their external dimensions, removing oversized and undersized seeds for a more uniform seed size, which helps ensure uniform sowing and uniform seedling emergence.
Improving production efficiency: Seed cleaning machines can clean and select large quantities of seeds in a short period of time. They can be used as single machines in mobile operations or as fixed production lines in seed processing plants, ensuring timely farming, improving agricultural production efficiency, and reducing labor costs.
