PJTAU set to launch ‘Seed Week’ to boost quality seed supply

Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University is set to organise 'Seed Week' from May 23 to 30 as part of the State government's 99 Days programme. The initiative will benefit nearly 1.50 lakh farmers with quality foundation seed that can be reused for three years. Around 1,231 tonnes of seeds of all crops have been kept ready for sale through 27 university sales centres across the State. Each farmer will be allowed to purchase only two foundation seed kits for each crop, sufficient for cultivation of two acres.
