Farmers cultivating tuber crops in the district were trained by a team of scientists from Indian Council of Agricultural Research’s Central Tuber Crops Research Institute (CTCRI), Thiruvananthapuram, in augmenting their income by cultivating high-yielding varieties and value-addition of tuber crops.
The CTCRI, in association with the Department of Horticulture, organised the training programme for farmers on ‘Improved production technologies and value addition in tuber crops’ at Mekkarai near Shenkottai on Tuesday.
