Mr. Nitin Talokar SMS (Ag. Engg) briefed about the benefits of sowing rabi chickpea on BBF planter as it helps enhance crop productivity from 14-18 percent. It also saves seed 20-25 percent and improves soil moisture retention conditions by reducing the number of irrigation rounds. The space left for furrows will improve crop aeration that will help to reduce pest infestation. The furrow space can be utilized for laying sprinkler irrigation systems. The sowing of seed by four rows on the broad bed will help plant growth as the growth of rootlet is fast, resulting in increasing plant height, no of branches, and no. of pods and ultimately results in increased crop production. After training, the Method Demonstration of BBF Planter for sowing, setting, adjustment, and maintenance was well explained by Mr. Nitin Talokar to the farmers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20210203-WA0111-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20210203-WA0111-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20210203-WA0111-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20210203-WA0111-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20210203-WA0111.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Silage Method demonstration<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20200609-WA0028-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1952\" width=\"379\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20200609-WA0028-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20200609-WA0028-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20200609-WA0028-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kvkbuldana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG-20200609-WA0028.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><figcaption>BBF Technology Demonstration<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li><strong>CFLD Training on Bengal gram<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the last day of technology week, KVK conducted a training program under CFLD (Pulses) on Bengal gram on 20<sup>th<\/sup> October 2020.
