Efforts have been made for supplying free mechanised planters for transplanting bed nurseries under the ‘kuruvai’ package scheme currently on in the district.
The mechanical transplanters will be made available through the Agricultural Engineering, Co-operative Department, and private agencies, said N. Subbaiyan, District Collector, said.
He said the interested farmers should submit their applications to the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies. Details can be had by dialling Regional Joint Registrar of Cooperative Societies, the release added.
