‘Certified seeds for better yield’

Hassan MLA H.S. Prakash has called upon potato growers to pick certified seeds to improve the crop yield. He said that arrangements have been made to procure certified seeds for farmers who register well in advance. He was speaking after inaugurating an awareness programme for farmers at Krishi Vigyana Kendra at Kandali on Thursday.

“Those who sowed certified seeds in the past year got a better yield,” he said. “The Horticulture Department will procure certified seeds this year as well. I wish a good number of farmers purchase them this year and get a better yield,” he said.
