Patna district, in general and Tal lands, in particular is specifically popular for Rabi pulses like lentil and gram and oilseed like rapeseed-mustard. At the same time the uplands of the district is quite suitable for kharif pulses like red gram and oil seeds like castor and seasamum. Diara land of the Patna district is famous for the production of the almost all crops of Rabi and summer season but it is kharif season because Diara land is flooded during this season. The flooded region is rice in Organic matter percentage and the productivity of the area is much higher in comparison to upland without the use of organic or inorganic Mansur / fertilizer. In the past five years the production as well as productivity of these crops has increased considerably. The man reason for these yield gaps are their relegation on uncared and marginal lands under rainfed situation and imbalance use for fertilizer. Our center is making the latest agro-technologies under the prevailing agro-eco system available to farmers.
