The technical know-how of farm operations to be made available soon

Punjab Agricultural University recently organised a discussion on rainwater harvesting for farmers. Dr Rajan Aggarwal, Head, Department of Renewable Energy Engineering, said that urbanisation has seen a rise during the last 10 years. He added, “This has resulted in houses covering the land. Moreover, sufficient space is not available for spreading surface water in urban areas, where groundwater availability is inadequate and reduces rainwater infiltration,” he observed. 

Informing about the monthly farm-related practices, Dr Inderpreet Kaur Boparai, Assistant Entomologist, advised farmers to read Changi Kheti and Progressive Farming (July issue) for technical know-how of farm operations to be followed in August.

Deepak Bhatia, Sales Promotion Assistant, said the Communication Centre is promoting 198 publications, which are available for purchase at Gate No. 1, PAU, Ludhiana campus. The Package of Practices for Rabi crops will be sold on the first of September.
