RAIPUR: National Institute of Biotic Stress Management's principal scientist Anil Dixit has received fellow award from Directorate of Weed Science Research for his research on 'herbicide recommendation on different field crops' and preparing a 'Weed Atlas' which will give information on any type of weed in the country.
Dixit said, "Research work on weed management is basically about practises/ techniques that can be applied for removal of weeds.
Established in 2012 in Raipur, National institute of Biotic Stress Management is the only institute for addressing the impact of biotic stress and harness potentials of emerging tools of biotechnology in agriculture. "This is the only institute of its kind and is on the lines of becoming a deemed university. It is working for plant protection with an aim to increase crop productivity by using mitigation measures for biotic stresses in agriculture," added he. Dixit said, "We hope to introduce MSc and PhD courses by 2015. Farmers here lack awareness, therefore, in order to educate them more, we plan to provide all information to them from herbicide to techniques."
