CTCRI establishes frontline demonstration-cum-seed villages
The Indian Council for Agricultural Research’s Central Tuber Crop Research Institute (CTCRI) in Thiruvananthapuram has established frontline demonstration-cum-seed villages for high-yielding Chinese potato at Kuthapanjan and Rajangapuram in Tenkasi district as this district has been a major producer of the crop for the past several decades.
Besides providing seeds to the farmers opting for cultivation of high-yielding and disease-resistant Chinese potato variety ‘Sree Dhara’, these two villages will also have demonstration fields, which agriculturists can visit to understand the cultivation and crop management practices.
