TRVK, Siddipet & ARS, Tornala conducted Field Day on Greengram (MGG-385) seed production field as the part of QSEV-Quality seed at Every Village programme at Mittapally (V), Siddipet Urban (M). The Quality Seed in Every Village (QSEV) programme of Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University (PJTAU) was formally launched in Telangana districts. This initiative aims to promote decentralized seed production by involving local farmers. In Siddipet district, 1,149 farmers across 383 revenue villages (with three farmers per village) have been identified for seed production of paddy and moong (green gram). Scientists from PJTAU and officials from the Department of Agriculture will provide continuous technical guidance and monitoring to ensure quality seed production. This initiative underscores the commitment of PJTAU and the Government of Telangana to empowering farmers with access to quality seed resources, fostering self-reliance, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the region. Dr. G. Santhosh kumar, ARS, Tornala, scientist & Head discussed about importance of quality seed production activities done in different villages of Siddipet district by Agricultural Research Station, Tornala for increasing the production and productivity of pulse crops and better management practices to be adopted for enhancing the yield levels. Dr.Ch. Pallavi, Coordinator, TRVK, Siddipet addressed the importance of pulses in the present scenario to raise awareness and recognize the contribution of pulses to sustainable food systems and healthy food cycle. She further said that the nitrogen-fixing properties of pulses improve soil fertility which increases the productivity and fertility of the fields and also by intercropping Greengram with other crops (Cotton, Redgram and Maize) farmers will get good yields as well as returns within short period of time. Furthermore, pulses can contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing dependence on the synthetic fertilizers used to introduce nitrogen artificially into the soil. In this programme, Agricultural Extension Officers Rajesh, Pavan, 6 BJR Agricultural Students and 35 farmers were participated.
