ICAR-Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research, Hyderabad, organized a farmer's training course on “Technologies for Increasing Oilseeds Production in Odisha”, from 26th-30th September 2023.
Dr. R.K. Mathur, Director, ICAR-IIOR, urged farmers to follow the cooperative approaches in farming to harness advanced technologies such as drone-operated weedicide and pesticide spraying to reduce the cost of cultivation and overcome the problem of labour shortage.
Farmers were advised to form farmer’s producer organizations (FPOs) and avail the benefits of government schemes and programs. Farmers were assisted in installing the mobile application “E-TILHAAN” for comprehensive information on sunflower and sesame.
Fifty farmers from the Kalahandi district of Odisha participated in the training.
