Guni method of Ragi cultivation
Visited three locations in Tumkur and four locations in Dharwad districts of GuniRagi cultivation and two group meetings were held in each district to know thefeedback from farmers on Guni method of cultivation in Ragi
Sri.K.S.Ramesh s/o N.Shivananjappa, Karikere, Thiruvekere Taluk, Tumkur District
