ATMA Aghunaqa block conducts Kisan Ghosthi

Dimapur, December 14 (MExN): Kisan Ghosthi programme was conducted at Integrated Farm school in Zutoi village on December 12 where Demalu Hasnusa, BTM, Aghunaqa Block spoke on the topic of ‘Application methods of Micronutrients and Biofertilizers.’ He said that micronutrients are essential for plant growth and play an important role in balanced crop nutrition. They include boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni) and chloride (Cl). A lack of any one of the micronutrients in the soil can limit growth, even when all other nutrients are present in adequate amounts. He directed farmers on the amount of micronutrient doses to be mixed with water before spraying it directly in fields or on standing crops. Later, the farmers were distributed micronutrients and biofertilizer packets at the programme chaired by Moakumzuk, ATM, Aghunaqa Block.
