Recipe reported to reduce water use for Sindh's thirstiest crop
Dawn and Asia News Network carry reports on the method, but their headlines did not name the crop or the water savings achieved.
Two news outlets reported on 22 September 2026 that a recipe has been developed to grow Sindh's thirstiest crop with less water. Asia News Network carried the lead report, and Dawn carried a similar item under the headline “The recipe that puts Sindh's thirstiest crop on less water”. Neither outlet's headline, which was the only retrievable part of the reports, identified the crop, the recipe, or the amount of water saved.
The full text of both reports was not available to Skardu Times at the time of filing. The reports did not say which crop is considered Sindh's thirstiest, nor whether the recipe has been tested on farms or is still experimental.
Skardu Times will update this story when the full reports and details are available.
