MainPuri :Parijat Industries organised a farmers’ seminar in Barnahal, Mainpuri district, Uttar Pradesh, bringing together around 100 farmers to discuss modern agricultural practices, potato crop management and disease prevention ahead of the Rabi season.
Held on Dalupur Road, the programme featured discussions on common challenges in potato cultivation, including bacterial and fungal infections in seed tubers, tuber rot, soil-borne diseases and poor sprouting, all of which can affect crop establishment and yields.
The event was attended by Rupendra Singh Shakya, District President of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, Mainpuri, and Rao Sahab Raja, Regional Manager at Parijat Industries. Ankit Kumar, who leads the organising team at Agri Junction Centre, welcomed the guests with garlands and mementoes.
Focus on Potato Crop Protection
With Rabi sowing typically taking place between October and November, the seminar focused on helping farmers prepare for the upcoming cultivation season. Discussions covered the role of Holt 250 SC fungicide in potato disease management, along with Parijat Industries’ products Root Plus and Paristar and their role in supporting potato cultivation.
The session also provided farmers with an opportunity to interact directly with agricultural experts and gain practical insights into crop management and modern farming techniques.
Strengthening Farmer Outreach
Uttar Pradesh is among India’s key potato-producing states, with districts such as Mainpuri, Farrukhabad, Meerut, Aligarh, Kanpur, Moradabad and Bareilly contributing to potato cultivation. The seminar aimed to improve awareness of advanced cultivation practices and farm management among local growers.
The initiative brought together Parijat Industries, the Agri Junction Centre and agricultural experts to facilitate knowledge-sharing and farmer engagement.
Through farmer-focused programmes, Parijat Industries aims to strengthen its engagement with the farming community and promote awareness of crop solutions and improved agricultural practices.
