Coimbatore, April 30

The Tamilnadu Agricultural University (TNAU) has asked its researchers working on yield increase in rice to target 12 tonnes productivity per hectare. Dr C. Ramasamy, Vice-Chancellor, while reviewing the rice research programme recently, also suggested that scientists formulate new pheromones for improved pest controls. According to a release, Dr T.S. Raveendran, Director of the Centre for Plant Breeding and Genetics, said that a new rice culture developed by the University that can yield 3.7 tonnes per hectare could be adopted in rain-fed areas of Ramanathapuram and Sivaganga.
