On farm trial is an approach of adaptive research conducted on farmers’ field within their framing system perspective in their active participation and under their management. The objective of OFT is to develop technologies which might help solve problems of group of farmers in a defined study area.

The details of ongoing On farm trial (OFT) during the year 2024-25 are as below:
