PRSP received the assignment from the Punjab Agriculture Department to oversee the IPM Project in the Khanewal District.  The Project is conceived around keeping the cotton crop protected from “pest attack” by introducing, propagating and promoting the population of “friendly” insects and using these for keeping the pest under check.  It also propagates ways for controlling damage from use of pesticides as also reducing the number of sprays and the expense on these. The same strategy is used for other pest attack-prone crops like vegetables.  PRSP draws satisfaction from achieving significantly higher outputs than the Project envisages and at a cost lower than the available Project funds.
