Chandigarh, October 17
Markfed has launched a Kisan Kit comprising the entire range of agricultural chemicals required from sowing to harvesting of wheat.
The kit was launched by Markfed chairman Amarjit Singh Samra and Managing Director Arshdeep Singh Thind.
Samra said Markfed had always taken into account the interest of farmers, adding that one kit would provide solutions for controlling weeds, insects and diseases for 11 acres at the cost of 10 acres.
The Managing Director said field officers at the block level would contact progressive farmers of the state. Every kit had been provided with gloves, a gas mask and a flood jet nozzle free of cost. The farmers will save Rs 600-Rs 700 per acre by getting free pesticides for additional acres on buying every kit.
