Doctor's
Krishi(Agriculture) Polyclinic Government Registered
Organization with the objective of bringing new
Horticultural Technology on the doorstep of farmers,
orchardist and orchards & farms of semi government
and private organizations.
It was felt that given the limited resources and
specific mandate of the research institutions
and the government agencies, it is not possible
to disseminate the improved technology to the
farmers in an integrated manner. Therefore, the
concept of Polyclinic took shape wherein, all
the serious problems of mango crop will be attended
to under one roof.
The huge technology gap has resulted in low mango
productivity and profitability. Keeping this in
view the Polyclinic attempts to provide consultancy
in Mango Crop by renowned scientist's and experts
of their own fields. Dr. Ram Prakash Srivastava,
who is internationally known for his research
work on IPM on mango crop is the Chief Consultant.
and has standardized many integrated pest management
protocols for mango crop
Polyclinic proposes to provide services for establishment
and maintenance of orchards on scientific guidelines.
Polyclinic, also proposes to take-up well designed
training programmes for the masters trainers and
farmers. The schedule incorporating bio-agents
comprising entomogenous fungi, parasites and predators
and natural products like essential oils viz.
citronella oil, lemongrass oil, Mentha oil and
Palmorosa oil, and various Neem formulations along
with limited and judicious use of chemicals.
This has resulted to higher productivity with
least toxic residues in the produce, prevention
of resistance in insects and protection of beneficial
insects like honey bees and spiders from the hazardous
chemicals.
