horsegram
Introduced drought resistant variety and maintaining seed bank in
the village.
Introduced new fodder varieties viz. CoFs-29 and CoFS-31 to farmers
Adopted integrated moisture conservation practices i.e.
conservation furrows in redgram.
Created awareness on subsoiling/deep tillage with chisel plough
