About Project<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Cropping Systems Research had its beginning at Akola (Maharashtra) in 1953 as \u201cSoil Fertility and Fertilizer Use Project\u201d. Later on renamed as \u201cModel Agronomic Experiment Centre\u201d from 1968 with full-fledged co-ordinated project. However, the programme was under the Deptt. of Agriculture Maharashtra state then the project was transferred Dr.PDKV, Akola from 20.10.1969 on its formation. It was further up-graded in 1983 to AICRP on Cropping Systems Research with a Project Directorate (ICAR) at Modipuram, Meerut. <\/span>
During XI Plan PDCSR, Modipuram has again renamed this Project in march, 2009 as Project Directorate for Farming Systems Research (PDFSR) to undertake remodeled programme under Integrated Farming Systems Research mode operating through All India Co-ordinated Research for Farming Systems with 37 ‘on-station’ (25 main + 12 sub centers) and 32 ‘on-farm’ research centers in five ecosystems, i.e., arid, semi-arid, sub-humid, humid and coastal throughout the country to develop location specific system based technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
