The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) will release the new edition of its Package of Practices (PoP) for crops, the first since the devastating floods of 2018 and 2019 that played havoc with the State’s farm sector, on Monday.
The 16th edition of the ‘Package of Practices Recommendations: Crops 2024’ is envisioned as a guide to building a resilient, technology-intensive and sustainable agricultural system.
Valued for the depth of Kerala-specific crop production technologies, PoPs have been published since 1973. The most recent one came out in 2016.
