Solan, January 3
The sale of planting material of temperate fruits by the Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, will begin from January 5 in a staggered manner.
This has been done to ensure compliance of Covid norms and facilitate the smooth sale of material during the pandemic.
“The demand has poured in from as far as Orissa, Rajasthan as well as neighbouring Uttrakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, besides within the state. More than 1.5 lakh plants were distributed last year. Since an overwhelming demand was received from various states this year, an effort is being made to provide more plants this year of various fruits like kiwi, apricot, pear, peach, plum, parsimony and apples of low chilling varieties,” said an official
“The planting material has been raised based on demand generated on an online booking form circulated in November. An effort will be made to accommodate maximum growers,” the official said.
He said farmers who had filed their online demand form within the stipulated date should look for their names in the allotment list on the university’s website and secure material as per the allotted time.
A copy of the allotment list as well as the Aadhaar card would have to be produced by the farmer at the time of collecting their plant. Details like time and university nursery from where the plants can be collected are also mentioned. Nurseries in Department of Seed Science, Fruit Science and Model Farm located on the main campus at Nauni and Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Solan, have been earmarked for collecting plants.
