Training prog on Insecticide Act 1968 concludes
SRINAGAR: The four-day long off-campus training programme on Insecticide Act 1968 organised by the Agriculture Department concluded here on Friday.
An official statement said that the training programme gave an opportunity to the participants to transfer the training contents to other field functionaries for better outcome of results.
According to Director Agriculture, SA Andrabi, the course was designed to regulate the import, manufacture, sale, transport, distribution and use of insecticide, with a view of preventing risk to human lives.
He added the main concept of this course is to avoid the use of spurious Insecticides/Pesticides and handle strictly with unlawful dealers so that farmers and growers are provided with quality products to boost their production.
