Farm Section

The ICAR-Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research has a well-developed farm with elaborated and proper connectivity of roads. The total area of the farm is 186.5 ha and area under cultivation is 125.16 ha to conduct research experiments. The farm is equipped with 13 tube-wells with interconnected underground irrigation channels, 7 tractors with implements and machines for various field operations. To manage this farm and its resources, the institute has an independent farm section which facilitates research activities by providing logistic support including inputs, farm equipment’s and other resources for field experimentation. To conduct all field experiments there is a need of a certain area of land, labourers, irrigation, farm inputs and other resources like farm machinery, tools, and bullock pairs. The farm section arranges all these resources, maintains, and provides to different scientific divisions as per their requirement. Apart from this the farm section maintains the entire farm and keeps it presentable by cleaning road sides, of farm as well as colony building etc. bunds and channels properly. This unit is also engaged to generate revenue by producing quality seed of sugarcane and other produces like wheat, paddy, mustard, gram etc.

Vision

To develop into a well-equipped, scientifically managed modern research farm.

Mission

To maximize production, productivity, and profit of margin, reduce the cost of cultivation of sugarcane as well as other crops grown at institute and face the challenges of labour scarcity through mechanization and operational precision.
