Rogeny Orchards
For the development of horticulture in the right direction, adequate availability of quality planting material to the farmers is of importance, keeping in view that the 10 departmental Progeny Orchards located at different elevations suitable for specific horticultural crops are the only source to supply the planting material requirements, these progeny orchards were strengthened.
