Plan to rise mustard oil during drought season
Imphal/Oct 4: A one-day sensitization workshop on the topic 'Augmenting rape-seed-mustard production as strategic contingent plan for drought-like situation in Manipur' was organised by Directorate of Extension Education, Central Agricultural university at the CAU Assembly Hall on Wednesday.
As chief guest of the workshop's inaugural programme, Dean of College of Agriculture Dr N Iboton Singh expressed that even though rainfall inadequacy during June-July months, the peak paddy plantation period, caused anxiety to the farmers late onset of seasonal rainfall in September provided some relief to the farmer community.
Noting that late arrival of the monsoon rain would affect paddy yield in many part of the State's cultivation area, Dr Iboton strongly advocated plantation of rape-seeds soon after harvest of paddy plants to supplement income of the farmers.
Informing that the previous season had yielded about 700 to 1400 kgs of common mustard seeds, he called upon the farmers to grow Ragini variety of mustard seeds to enhance quantity of harvest.
Dr Iboton also prevailed upon the farmers to consult subject experts prior to growing Ragini variety as the new variety not only require timely plantation but the soil need to be tested to check its suitability.
He further conveyed to the farmers that they could use water pumps available at the disposal of CAU by bearing the fuel expenses.
Speaking at the occasion, Director of Research, CAU Dr M Rohinikumar Singh said that in the previous season rape-seeds cultivation was taken up at about 500 paris of land.
He exuded confidence that cultivation of the new variety would be carried out on a wider scale this time around.
