With the help of these resilient plant varieties, farmers will be better equipped to face the challenges posed by changing weather patterns and pests, ultimately increasing their productivity.
2. Special Early Sale for Lahaul-Spiti and Pangi Farmers
In recognition of the unique farming conditions in remote regions of the state, Nauni University has decided to begin the fruit plant sale earlier in areas such as Lahaul-Spiti and Pangi. The sale at the Regional Horticultural Research and Training Station in Bajaura will begin on December 9, giving farmers in these areas additional time to purchase the plants they need. This move aims to ensure that farmers in these regions, who often face challenges related to altitude and climate, are able to access the best planting material for their specific agricultural needs.
3. Research-Backed Plant Varieties for Improved Yield and Sustainability
The plants being offered by the university have undergone extensive research to ensure they are well-suited to the climatic conditions of Himachal Pradesh. Nauni University has made significant contributions to the horticulture sector by providing farmers with varieties that are not only high-yielding but also resistant to diseases and pests. These varieties have been developed to meet the challenges posed by the region’s unique and sometimes harsh environmental conditions.
With the horticulture sector being a vital part of Himachal Pradesh’s economy, the availability of high-quality, research-backed fruit plants plays a critical role in enhancing the livelihoods of farmers. By supplying disease-resistant and climate-adapted plants, the university helps farmers reduce crop loss, increase production, and improve the quality of their fruits, making them more competitive in the market.
4. Empowering Farmers and Boosting the State’s Economy
The annual fruit plant sale organized by Nauni University is not just about providing farmers with quality planting material; it is also a step towards empowering them to diversify their crops and increase productivity. Horticulture is one of the key contributors to the state’s economy, and the university’s efforts to provide superior planting material directly impact the growth and sustainability of this sector.
By offering a diverse range of fruit plants, the university is helping farmers meet market demands and adapt to changing consumer preferences. As farmers expand their orchards and experiment with new fruit varieties, they are more likely to see an increase in their income and improve their economic stability.
5. Sustainability and Future Growth of Himachal Pradesh’s Horticulture Sector
