Agrovision Foundation is organising Central India’s biggest agriculture exhibition – Agro Vision from December 24 to 27. Chief Patron of Agro Vision Union Minister Nitin Gadkari recently addressed the Agriculture Product manufacturers, dealers, distributors and other channel partners regarding Agro Vision. This year the theme of Agro Vision is “Transforming Agriculture through Technology Innovations”. Adhering to the theme various technological innovations in farming and agriculture field will be on display at Agrovision. Escalating price of diesel and pollution generated is the cause of concern. But tractor running on Bio-CNG as fuel will prove as boon. The demonstration of the same will be available at Agro Vision. A few years back, a green bus using ethanol as fuel was showcased at Agro Vision. Bio-CNG based tractor is surely the product of constant innovation in this field.

 

Bio-CNG is cheaper as compared to diesel and a zero-pollution product too. Extensive awareness regarding the same needs to be created among farmers, for which Agro Vision would be the platform. Spraying of pesticides has turned dangerous for farmers several times. To reduce the dangers associated with this task, drone can be used. Drone allows less use of pesticide and covers a large area at the same time. Demonstration of spraying by drone can be witnessed at Agro Vision. This technology promotes optimum use of water by focusing on water management techniques. Demonstration of this technology too is available at Agro Vision. It also includes IT start-ups and provides them a dais to display, said Agro Vision Organising Secretary Ravi Boratkar.

 

The other special features of Agro Vision includes workshops on latest technology in agriculture, stalls portraying national and international level technology in agriculture, seminars on fresh / latest issues and topics in agriculture and farming, talks of experts that are beneficial and directional to Vidarbha’s farming scenario and huge animal husbandry pavilion. The workshop this year will tackle many important topics related to farming, said Dr C D Mayee, Chairman Advisory Council Agrovision.
