Farmers and Agri Extension Officers Attend Training on Bt Brinjal Production
November 26, 2014| |
Farmers were equipped with information on Bt Brinjal production and technology during the training program organized by On-Farm Research Division (OFRD) of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), in collaboration with Agricultural Biotechnology Support Project II (ABSPII) at Rangpur District on November 14, 2014. These farmers will be growing the crop this year, inspired by the successful commercial production last year. Field level extension officers and workers were also included in the training so that they can also guide the farmers during the field production. Around 50 trainees attended the training.
BARI scientists involved in the Bt brinjal field trial and commercial planting last year served as speakers during the training. Dr. Md Rafiqul Islam Mondal, Director General of BARI and Dr. Gour Pada Das, Country Coordinator of ABSPII, also answered the queries raised by the trainees.
