Dhanuka Agritech Research and Technology Centre (DART) aims to explore novel perspectives for resourceful intellectualistic vision in pioneering research areas through eccentric approach using splendid research amenities. Also, the centre is well equipped with advanced scientific instrument potential exhibiting top global standards and cultivable area for carrying out in-vivo trials so as to accomplish advanced research in the areas of bio-pesticides and agroformulations development.

Vision : The unit is involved in multifaceted and collaborative research and dedicated to contribute eco-friendly products solutions for secure and sustainable agriculture.

Objectives

01

To undertake basic, applied and adaptive research to address current and future challenges for sustainable development of agriculture in order to develop innovative solutions that promote sustainable practices and mitigate environmental impact.

02

Screening of various chemical, botanical, microbial, secondary metabolites, bio-stimulants, PGR formulations and assessing their commercial viability.

03

To generate appropriate technologies to support sustainable growth to DAL Agri- business and for the benefit of Indian farmers, thus making them available latest innovative technologies so as to increase agricultural productivity, reduce input costs, and improve overall profitability for farmers income.

04

To develop innovative extension strategies and formulate effective mechanism for transferring technologies to the farmers for ensuring that innovations reach farmers and are successfully adopted for facilitating enhanced and sustainable agricultural production.

05

To monitor soil health and testing of nutrient level of soil as well as plant samples collected from various farmer’s field across India for maintaining soil fertility, facilitating decisions making  about fertilization, crop management practices and optimizing agricultural productivity.
