H.D. Kote, July 13, 2021: The ICAR JSS Krishi Vignan Kendra, located in Suttur, organized a comprehensive training program focused on the utilization of Nano Urea in tomato cultivation. The event took place in Maagudilu village, H.D. Kote Taluk, and witnessed active participation from 25 progressive farmers.
Dr. G.M. Vinay, Horticulture Scientist at JSS KVK, Suttur, delivered a detailed presentation highlighting the improved cultivation methods specific to tomato crops. Participants gained valuable insights into nutrition management, effective soil and water management techniques, and were made aware of Nano Urea, its usage, and the associated benefits. Dr. Vinay explained that the utilization of Nano Urea can potentially double farmers’ income, with 500 ml of Nano Urea being equivalent to 50 kg of traditional urea. He further advised farmers to mix 4 ml of Nano Urea in 1 liter of water and spray it on the crop 30 days after sowing. An additional application after 15 days would enhance the crop’s nitrogen uptake, resulting in expected yields.
Sri J.G. Rajanna, Soil Science Assistant, provided valuable information on improving soil health, equipping the participants with knowledge and techniques to enhance the productivity of their farming operations.
The training program was facilitated by Sri Nagaraj, and it offered a platform for farmers to exchange ideas, learn from experts, and enhance their understanding of the latest agricultural practices.
