Seed Production

• From the inception, COA, Bharatpur has been actively involved in research encompassing seed production of nucleus, breeder and truthfully labeled seeds of clusterbean, urdbean, sesamum, gram, mustard and lentil under rainfed conditions. Stringent quality control measures are adopted at the farm to maintain the genetic purity of the seed stocks. Over the years the college farm have evolved as a center to nurture the young minds of the students, through practical hands on training in different aspects of crop production and farm management.
