The Patato in Indian Agriculture

Abstract

The National Plan has rightly laid great emphasis on achieving national self sufficiency in food by increasing production in the country. besides food, it has also stressed the importance of increasing the production of industrial crops. with a view to securing this all round increase in production, the plan has laid down targets and has proposed methods for achieving them through development programmes relating to major and minor irrigation works, extension of cultivation, reclamation and intensive farming based on the application of research.
