AP State focussed on improving seeds quality : Somireddy

Agriculture Minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy said the establishment of a seed production unit in collaboration with the Iowa State University was a significant venture of the State government towards improving the quality of seeds.

Participating as the chief guest at the valedictory session of the National Conference on Digital and Engineering Technologies for Precision Agriculture and Value Addition at the College of Agricultural Engineering (CAE) in Bapatla, Mr. Reddy said the usage of satellites in soil mapping and assessing the moisture content and nutrient deficiency in consultation with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would give a fillip to the ‘digitisation of agriculture.’
