Ahmedabad: State govt has approved an expenditure of Rs 10 crore for a centre of excellence (CoE) for oilseeds at Junagadh Agricultural University to strengthen the state’s oilseeds research infrastructure and efforts to improve crop productivity. A notification in this regard was issued this month by the agriculture, farmers’ welfare and cooperation department.
“Better coordination between researchers and farmers, improved agronomic practices and the adoption of suitable technologies could potentially help raise yields, reduce crop losses and improve the profitability of oilseed cultivation,” the notification states. The project involves the construction of a dedicated facility at the university’s main oilseeds research centre in Junagadh. The proposed centre could help consolidate oilseeds research and provide a stronger institutional base for developing and disseminating improved cultivation practices.
