Under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Integrated Fruit Production (AICRP-IFP) operated by MPUAT, a one-day farmer training and input distribution program was organized at the University's Horticulture Farm for adopting mango cultivation. A total of 43 farmers participated in the program. Subject matter experts Dr. K.K. Yadav, Dr. B.G.
