The three-day meet to be held between October 4 and 6 will showcase the sugarcane technologies developed by the institute and elsewhere which include the new varieties, planting methods, integrated nutrient management, bio fertilisers, by-products and various systems of cultivation such as micro-irrigation, value addition etc.
