Extension Experience:
i) Awareness among farmers: Co-ordinated Kisan Gosthi in village Mathiya and
Babutola of Muzaffarpur district, Bihar (India) for awareness about the reclamation
of sodic soils through on farm visits on demonstration trials in farmers fields. The
participating farmers from different villages were very happy with the standing
wheat crop and encouraged with the performance of gypsum alone and with
combination of different organic amendments.
ii) Front Line Demonstration (FLD) for micronutrients:
FLD in Tribal area is being carried out for awareness among farmers about the use of
micronutrients.
