Farmer
Shri. Hanumant Rokde from village Fisre of Karmala taluka (Dist. Solapur) harvested
a record yield of 19.50 quintals per acre of pigeon pea (tur) ‘Godavari’
variety developed by VNMKV, Parbhani.
During the visit of Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Prof. Indra Mani to the farmers' field on 13th December 2024, the farmers shared, "Earlier, we would barely get a yield of 3-4 quintals per acre,. However, with guidance from university scientists and support from the Paani Foundation, we have now achieved record yields of over 15 quintals per acre for each group member."
The scientists
of VNMKV, Parbhani and MPVK, Rahuri guided the farmers about pigeon pea
cultivation to the members of the Krushi Yoddha Fisre Shetkari Group (Farmers
Group). The farmers group extended heartfelt gratitude to the scientists of
both universities for their continuous support and guidance.
The group thanked all the agricultural experts for helping them achieve this milestone and requested continued guidance to achieve more success in the future.
