Chorao, Goa – In a commendable initiative blending academic learning with community service, students from the College of Agriculture, Ella Farm, Old Goa conducted a live demonstration on seed treatment using Bordeaux Mixture for local farmers of Chorao village.
The outreach session was held at the premises of Shri Devaki Krishna Temple, and was designed to educate farmers on the benefits of using Bordeaux Mixture—a traditional, copper-based fungicide that enhances seed health and promotes sustainable farming.
The students actively engaged with the farming community, demonstrating preparation methods, safety measures, and the correct application process of the mixture. The session saw enthusiastic participation from farmers, many of whom shared their own farming challenges and welcomed this knowledge-driven initiative.
Such grassroots programs underscore the importance of practical agricultural education and community collaboration. They not only empower farmers with effective techniques but also give students real-world exposure to field challenges and rural engagement.
This initiative was yet another example of youth-led agricultural innovation that aligns with the broader goals of sustainable farming, rural development, and knowledge transfer.
