A young horticulture officer has created a garden of exotic fruits and medicinal plants in a model nursery and farmers training centre in Khanapur in Belagavi district.
The government horticulture farm at Shedegali village now has saplings of over 30 fruit trees that are native to Africa, Europe, Australia and East Asia apart from various States in India.
Once they grow tall enough, their scions will be prepared and used for grafting. The grafted saplings will be distributed among interested farmers to ensure wider propagation.
