Description :
A team of scientists comprising of Dr Pankaj Gupta, Associate Director & Head, Dr Rajender Sharma and Dr Rakesh Kumar from RHRTS & KVK, Sharbo, Kinnaur celebrated a field day on pea. Sh. Ashok Kumar, President, Gram Panchayat Nesang told the team of scientists that the farmers of the village were benefited from the scientific advice through training programme in April 2016 on thinning operation, INM and IPM in pea. Through adoption of scientific approach, the farmers of the village were able to sell their produce @ Rs. 65-68 per kg.
Farmers were highly satisfied with line sowing demonstration on 29/05/2016 in rajmash crop as it saved almost 50-60 per cent on the cost of seed. Weeds pose a serious problem in cultivation of all major crops including pea. From the success of weed management through weedicide (Pendimethalin) in rajmash crop, the farmers of the village are now planning to go for chemical weed management in pea also, along with line sowing and balanced use of fertilizers.
