More ragi with less water: Online programme to promote ‘Guli Ragi’ cultivation on September 23
An online programme slated for September 23 will spotlight the Guli Ragi millet, which requires less water and delivers higher yields. In Haveri district, farmers among smallholders using the Guli Ragi method have harvested roughly 20 quintals per acre, versus about 15 quintals with conventional practices. The session aims to encourage broader adoption through expert talks and demonstrations.
