It suits mechanical harvesting, says agriculture official
CO-17 cotton variety that suits mechanical harvesting is being promoted among farmers in Perambalur-Ariyalur belt, a major cotton producing area in the state.
Mechanisation of cotton farming and yield improvement are important to increase the cotton area and reduce drudgery faced by cotton farmers, Joint Director of Agriculture, Perambalur, S. Karunanidhi, said while addressing a function organised by TNAU’s Cotton Research Station at Veppanthattai, as part of celebration of World Cotton Day on Thursday, on the theme: Cotton for Good.
