Achivements of the seminar

But the major question anyone could ask is what are the achievements of the seminar? Firstly ,we,farmers came to know that there are three kinds of the grubs which damage the arecanut plant.We came to know the life cycle of the root grub or the beetle.The importance of the time and the controlling method was emphasized.Though there were a few sceptics a good number of farmers were impressed.
After the seminar root grub problem was considered as major problem in arecanut plots.As Dr.Virendra Kumar ,K.V.K.Mangalore,once said everyone started to talk about root grub.
Even the horticulture department,specially in Sullia taluk started to distribute several items free of cost or for minimal price.In fact they started to give importance to me.I got several things like neem cake,boron,zinc sulphate and some organic manure from them.Now they are willing to conduct any number of programs in this regard.
Above all probably for the first time an affort from the scientist is started to control the root grub in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district.Hence I consider the seminar was a huge success.
