Capacity Building

 

The highly skilled faculty members of the department have been training students and staff from other colleges in plant tissue culture techniques.The department houses a well-equipped Tissue culture lab, Green and poly houses for growing sterile and healthy plants. We have successfully propagated Robusta variety of banana plants in invitro condition and they have been transferred to green houses for hardening.As a part of consultancy service,the department is planning to sell these healthy plants to encourage people to go for ecofriendly, chemical free plants
