During this program, Dr. Prakash Chand Gurjar of the same KVK motivated them to manage paddy straw properly and said that if we do farming by mixing paddy straw in the field itself, then not only the fertility of the soil increases but also the amount of fertilizers used in the field is reduced, due to which the cost incurred by the farmer is also reduced. Dr. Kishan Patel gave detailed information about in situ and ex situ crop residue management while giving information about agricultural machinery like Super Seeder, Happy Seeder, Zero Drill etc. During the same program, Harender Singh Dahiya discussed about various diseases and pests in crops and discussed in detail with the farmers about their prevention.
