Abstract:
The objective of the CRP, which was initiated in 1980, is not to do basic research, Rather, its specific purposes are to (a) focus efforts on immediate practical agricultural production problems related to goals of the Five-Year Plan and to (b) foster interdisciplinary and inter institutional research. A primary aim is to maintain attention on field-oriented questions for which answers will have wide applicability to major agro-climatic zones of the nation.
