AGRONOMIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE,

 

Functions
  1. Testing of new varieties/strains developed at research institutes for the formulation of production packages on agro-ecological basis.
  2. On-farm research with farming system perspective under different agro-ecological zones of the Punjab in order to develop technology appropriate to farmers’ resource base.
  3. Determining water requirements, irrigation schedule and appropriate methods of irrigation for major field and vegetable crops
  • Developing techniques/technologies aimed at increasing   income of the farmers by optimizing farmers resource use through:
  • Developing new cropping patterns or by bringing modest
  • changes in the existing cropping systems.
  • Developing economically viable and technically feasible multiple
  • cropping patterns i.e. mixed, inter and relay cropping patterns keeping in view the farmers resource base. 
  • Standardization of integrated weed management methods.
  • Screening of herbicides for efficient weed control and to study their toxicity on field crops and vegetables.
  • Generation of independent data base for approval of varieties evolved by the Plant Breeders.
