The agricultural scientists engaged in Fruit and Vegetable Programme at the National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC) has developed profitable technologies for off-season vegetable growers to enhance their income.
A team of research scientists who extensively conducted experiments at farmers'' fields for production of cucumbers and tomatoes crop throughout the country in collaboration with provincial agricultural research institutions.
As a result of the demonstrations scientists came to the conclusion that off-season vegetable production is a highly profitable business and according to them a farmer can earn Rs 1,20,000/- net profit out of one acre piece of land, if the farmers follow the complete production package of technology.
The technology has been adopted by the farmers who were involved during experimental work but other farmers need to adopt.
The scientists focused their research for production of off-season vegetables and carried out diverse trials for successful production of these crops. During experimental work they introduced low cost tunnel structures to lower the production cost with the co-ordination of provincial co-operative units.
