The programme started with the registration of the farmers from 9.30 am. Dr.P.Bala Hussain
Reddy, Programme Coordinator, KVK invited all the guests and Scientists on to the Dais.

Programme Coordinator introduced the gathering about the importance of the day and need for
organizing the programme. He also explained different activities carried out by the KVK in its
operational area and urged farmers to utilize the services of the KVK.
Dr.K.Raja Reddy, Director of Research acted as President of the programme expressed that Soil
is the basis for food, feed, fuel and fibre production and for services to human well-being. Soils
play a key role in the supply of clean water and resilience to floods and droughts. The
maintenance or enhancement of global soil resources is essential if humanity’s need for food,
water, and energy security is to be met. He urged farmers not to neglect soils and their health and
therefore adopt soil test based fertilizer application in all types of crops.
Dr.T.Giridhara Krishna, Associate Director of Research, RARS, Tirupati felt that it is our
responsibility to delegate a healthy soil to our future generations and it will be a great favour that
we can do for mankind. Every farmer invariably has to do soil testing atleast one in three years to
analyze the nutrient status and accordingly go for judicious fertilization.
Hon’ble MLA Sri Chinthala Rama Chandra Reddy garu expressed happiness for organizing such
a useful programme for farming community and he appreciated the efforts of KVK, Kalikiri in
doing an outstanding service to the farmers as learnt from the newspapers he read every day. He
also said the stalls arranged for the meeting displaying different varieties of different crops
suitable for the area, value added products with millets, agricultural machinery etc provide an
excellent opportunity for the farmers who are ready for cultivation in Rabi season. He also
emphasized that farmers should utilize the service of soil testing provided by KVKs and
department of agriculture.
Dr.M.Subba Rao explained cultivation practices of different millet and minor millet crops
suitable for rabi season. Dr.Prasanthi delivered an interactive lecture on practices to be done in
standing Redgram, Greengram and Blackgram crops. Dr.A.Rama Krishna Rao explained pest
and disease management practices for rabi crops. Dr.C.Ramana elucidated the advantages of
mechanization in agriculture and clarified the doubts of farmers on shredder, paddy transplanter
etc. Dr.G.Krishna Reddy explained the package of practices for rabi groundnut, maize, Paddy
etc.
