Key Achievements
1. Experiments on sustainable agriculture, integrated nutrient management and integrated weed management were also conducted on the farm.
2. Experiments on use of herbicides for different field crops were conducted.
3. Sufficient research work has also been carried out at agronomy farm on the weed control. It proved that weed has direct influence on crop growth and yields and all crops suffer to greater extent from competition of weeds and therefore needs to be controlled at critical growth stages of different crops.
4. With the introduction of hybrid varieties of Jowar, Maize, and Bajra, experiments on optimum requirement of chemical fertilizer dose were also conducted.
5. Certain trails have also been conducted on crops like Paddy, Wheat, pearl millet, Millets to find out the optimum date of sowing / transplanting under Satna condition.
6. Focuses on disseminating technologies and opportunities for efficient and sustainable crop production to improve the quality of produce.
7. publishing research papers, producing books and articles, faculty awards, student success in national exams, and placement in government and private sectors.
