3. Soil Analysis: Assess soil health and nutrient status to determine the best practices for crop production. Recommend appropriate fertilizers, soil amendments, and irrigation strategies based on soil analysis.
4. Crop Management: Advise on crop rotation, planting density, and other agronomic practices based on the experimental findings to optimize yield while reducing environmental impact. Also, research and implement sustainable farming practices to promote soil health and minimize the chemical input usage.
5. Crop Improvement: Carryout research to identify and develop horticultural crop varieties suitable for broadacre farming. Evaluate and select crops based on yield, quality, and adaptability to specific environmental conditions.
6. Pest and Disease Management: Examine and develop strategies for managing pests and diseases affecting crops. Identify resistant/tolerant crop varieties and develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.
7. Technology Adoption: Stay abreast of new technologies in agriculture and assess their potential benefits for crop production. Provide recommendations for the adoption of precision agriculture, automation, and other cutting-edge technologies.
