FOR SUCCESS IN FARMING READING FARM LITERATURE IS MUST: DR. DHIMAN

LUDHIANA, OCTOBER 19:-----



Agriculture has become greatly knowledge intensive. The farm

scientists are developing need-based technologies to make farming

better through efficient crop cultivation, protection, post harvest

handling operations. The new information is regularly disseminated to

farmers through farm literature. These views were expressed by the

Additional Director of Communication, Dr. Jagtar Singh Dhiman while

addressing the participants of young farmer training course at Kairon

Kisan Ghar, today. The PAU brings out farm magazines, Changi Kheti

and Progressive Farming in addition to Package of Practices for Rabi

and Kharif crops, vegetable crops, fruit crops. Several bulletins on

different crops, occupations relevant to farming, subsidiary ventures

such as bee keeping, mushroom growing, etc. are also published by PAU.

The Agricultural Handbook and Crop Calendar provide useful and handy

information to farmers, said Dr. Dhiman. He suggested the trainees to

subscribe for these publications and to endeavour creating their own

home libraries. He said that PAU farm literature is sold out to

farmers at \'No Profit No Loss\' through various outlets at PAU,

Ludhiana, KVKs and Regional Stations of the University. Dr. Dhiman

responded to specific queries of the participants. The Course

Coordinator, Dr. T.S.Riar said that the participants are provided

copies of PAU farm literature so that they can take the agricultural

wisdom with them back home.
