Agridev is to set up a demonstration project at the government-owned Hatwara Seed Farm in Purulia, which has vast tracts of arid and idle land. Agridev will be given an acre for the demo farm and the state government will invest Rs 5 crore.
The Israeli company will teach its partners here drip irrigation, fertigation (the combined use of fertilisers and irrigation), and greenhouse technology in which computers monitor temperature and other factors. Israeli officials visit the state regularly to carry out the spadework for the project.
