Research & Development

Agricultural Development

We have been engaged in the up-liftment of the agrarian populace of Rural India. We conduct and / or sponsor research and development activities as under:

Farm Inputs

• High-yield, disease-resistant varieties of seeds.
• Tissue-cultured plants.
• Agricultural practices and their standardization for agricultural crops, horticultural and agro-forestry plants.
• Water requirements data standardization.

Utilization of waste-lands

- Soil conservation.
- Topping barren land with fertile soil layer.
- Use of various grasses to prevent soil erosion.
- Green manuring practices.
- Sub-soil drainage facility - Terracing.

• Water management.
• Water harvesting and watershed development.
• Constructing various types of bunds.
• Channelising rain water to water storage tanks.
• Plantation to increase water permeability.
• Terracing of hills for better water percolation.

Industrial Products

Agro-processed Products : Fruit pulp, purees & concentrate and dehydrated vegetable processes are essentially undergoing development perpetually. The product specifications are constantly changing.

Agri-irrigation Products : Work on Research & Development projects is always in progress. The following are typical illustrations:

1. Different designs of casing/screen pipes, their jointing method and fittings.
2. Design modifications in micro-irrigation technique such as in-line drip irrigation system.
3. Design modification in sprinkler irrigation method such as floppy pop-up sprinkler.
4. New designs of injection moulded parts in micro-irrigation system.
5. Process development and establishment of new formulations.

Environment Protection

1. Treating solid waste from food processing units and converting it to bio-fertilizer.
2. Developing need-based bio-pesticide.
3. Utilizing solar heat through solar water heaters and solar stills.
4. Afforestation on increasingly more area by planting trees and providing saplings for plantation.
