AGRONOMIC RESEARCH

In the study of economic potentialities of an agrarian economy, agronomic research on different problems connected with agriculture is of prima facie importance in the schemes of economic planning. Research on eradication of pests and diseases, evolving of better strains of seeds, multiplication of improved seeds, and demonstration of scientific methods of cultivation are very valuable for achieving higher yields. This gives a boost to production and at the same time reduces the severity of scarcity conditions. Diversification of the crop pattern adopted in the district at present needs some re-orientation. This can be brought about after intensive research on the soil, climatic and environmental conditions prevailing in the district.
