Sri Vijaya Puram, Feb 10: Spices are the major commercial crops of the islands; however, their cultivation in the islands faces several challenges. One of these challenges is non-availability of quality planting material. A number of superior varieties of various spice crops have been developed/ identified at ICAR-CIARI through years of research for improving the profitability of the island agriculture. Also, several efficient nursery techniques for these crops have also been standardized at this Institute. In order to disseminate these recent techniques and educate the grassroot as well as managerial level staff working at various farms of the Department of Agriculture, two consecutive capacity building programmes entitled “Hands-on training on nursery techniques of Horticultural Crops (Spices)” of three days each were organized by ICAR-CIARI in collaboration with CSS-MIDH(NHM) Project on Spices during February 04 to 08, 2025.
