CORDET Hosts Field Day in Prayagraj, Educates Farmers on Nano Fertilizers and Free Black Wheat Seeds

Prayagraj : Under the guidance of CORDET Principal Dr. Vivek Dixit, a special Field Day was organized on Thursday in Babupur Belo village, located in the Pratappur development block of Prayagraj, to promote modern, cost-effective farming techniques among local cultivators.

Addressing the gathering, Training In-Charge Mukesh Tiwari provided comprehensive guidance on utilizing IFFCO’s nano fertilizers for upcoming Rabi crops. He advised farmers to treat seeds with 5 ml of Nano DAP per kilogram prior to sowing, explaining that this practice accelerates germination and ensures a significantly higher germination rate. He also urged growers to rely on soil testing reports before applying conventional granular fertilizers.

Conducting the session, IRDP In-Charge Rajesh Kumar Singh elaborated on the vital role of bio-fertilizers, bio-decomposers, and beneficial soil microorganisms in enriching organic matter. Strongly discouraging stubble burning, he encouraged farmers to apply bio-decomposers directly in their fields to convert crop residue into nutrient-rich organic compost. To further incentivize progressive agriculture, free black wheat seeds were distributed among the attending farmers.

Presiding over the event, progressive farmer and Village Pradhan Ram Sajeevan Bhartiya lauded CORDET’s continuous efforts toward low-cost, high-yield agricultural reforms, sharing his own positive results from using Nano DAP and Nano Urea in paddy cultivation.

A large number of local farmers—including Surendra Kumar, Shyam Babu, Soni Devi, Pandhari Bhartiya, Moolchand Vishwakarma, Lalti Devi, Munni Devi, Meena Devi, Ramkali, Saroja Pal, Ramesh Kumar Gautam, and Sunita Prajapati—actively participated in the program.
