She highlighted that farmers saved Rs4.86 billion in fuel costs, while wheat sowing expenses dropped by Rs3,666 per acre. She said that 7,805 farmers across 31 districts cultivated wheat on 110,014 acres using super seeders, with an additional 68,185 acres covered through rental services while 93% of farmers reported better wheat germination and found super seeders more effective than conventional methods.
