Farmers Traning
Following training programmes were conducted under the project.
1. Seed Priming of Bioformulation Training:
- Farmer-focused sessions on the technique of seed priming using bioformulations.
- Practical demonstrations at the farmer's field to illustrate the proper application of bioformulations for seed priming.
2. Training on Field Application of Bioformulation:
- Hands-on training for farmers on the correct field application methods of bioformulations.
- On-field demonstrations showcasing the effective use of bioformulations in enhancing crop growth and resilience.
3. Training on Mass Production of Bio-Enriched Composting:
- Specialized training sessions for farmers on the mass production of bio-enriched compost.
- Providing practical insights into composting techniques using bio-inputs, emphasizing the role of compost in soil health.
4. Skill Development on Mass Production of Bio-Inputs:
- Targeted skill development programs exclusively designed for farmers.
- Comprehensive training on the large-scale production of bio-pesticides, bio-fertilizers, and macrobials to empower farmers with self-sufficiency.
5. Farmers' Skill Enhancement in Bio-Input Production:
- Farmer-centric skill development workshops focusing on mass production techniques for bio inputs.
- Enabling farmers to acquire expertise in cost-effective methods for producing their own bio-pesticides, bio-fertilizers, and macrobials for sustainable agriculture.
Following training programme were also conducted:
