NADP Project
NADP sponsored scheme on Remote sensing based information for crop coverage, yield estimation and drought monitoring is in operation at ADAC&RI, Trichy as a sub centre. In this scheme, collection of ground truth data on rice and non rice points in 360 places and collecting crop cutting experiment data in 180 places in Ariyalur, Trichy and Perambalur districts. Training to farmers and department officials are also being done.
Netafim Irrigation Sponsored Project
Netafim Irrigation India Pvt Ltd, India sponsored project on “Exploring the feasibility of drip irrigation for kuruvai paddy and summer vegetable cultivation under sodic soil with saline water” was operated at Department of Agronomy during 2016-17 to screen rice varieties suitable for drip irrigation system under sodic soil with saline water during Kuruvai season, standardize the lateral spacing and optimize the nitrogen dosage for drip irrigated paddy under sodic soil and to screen suitable vegetable crops for sodic soil under drip irrigation during summer season
