Chenani, June 08: The CSIR Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, Jammu, continuing with its outreach under the flagship initiative of CSIR Floriculture Mission conducted a training workshop on scientific crop production, management and post-harvest processing for the farmers of Chenani and Udhampur.

During the technical sessions, Dr Iqra Farooq, Senior Project Associate, CSIR IIIM gave a detailed presentation that covered various aspects of marigold cultivation, including soil preparation, seed sowing techniques, optimal irrigation methods, pest disease management, and post-harvest handling. The participating farmers were also informed to practice staggered sowing to ensure consistent and sustained generation of quality flowers.
