Souvenir-cum-Abstract Book: National Conference on Priorities in Crop Protection for Sustainable Agriculture

Green Revolution technologies were inappropriate for marginal and poor farmers, but peasants were excluded from access to credit, information, technical support and other services that would have helped them use and adapt these new inputs if they so desired. Clearly, the historical challenge for the publicly funded agricultural research community is to refocus its efforts on marginalized farmers and agro ecosystems and become catalysts in their sustained growth, which will lead to the welfare of agriculture and country. Keeping in view the huge scope of the crop protection in NEH region, Central Agricultural University, Imphal and ICAR-NBAIR, Bengaluru are organizing a three day national conference on “Priorities in Crop Protection for Sustainable Agriculture” from 16 th to 18 th March, 2021 at College of Agriculture, Iroisemba, Manipur, India.
