Recommendations for farmers (in brief with title)
1.     Effect of micronutrient application on seed yield and quality of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)
        It is recommended for the farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-cimatic Zone associated with seed production of coriander are advised to apply FeSo4@25 kg/ha as soil application at the time of sowing or foliar application of FeSo4@ 0.5% (75 g/15 liter) + 0.1% Citric Acid (15gm/15 liter) at 30 & 45 DAS in addition to recommended dose of fertilizer (20:10:0 NPK kg/ha) to obtain higher seed yield with high germination and seedling vigour.
ખેડૂતોપયોગી ભલામણ 
દક્ષિણ સૌરાષ્ટ્ર ખેત આબોહવાકીય વિસ્તારના ધાણામાં બીજ ઉત્પાદન સાથે સંકળાયેલા ખેડૂતોને સલાહ આપવામાં આવે છે કે ધાણામાં સારા બીજાંકુરણ અને બીજાંકુરણ ઓજ્વાળું મહત્તમ બીજ ઉત્પાદન માટે વાવણીના સમયે ભલામણ કરેલ ખાતરના (૨૦:૧૦:૦૦ કી.ગ્રા. નાઈટ્રોજન : ફોસ્ફરસ : પોટાશ પ્રતિ હેક્ટર) પૂરતા જથ્થા સાથે વધારાનો ફેરસ સલ્ફેટ ૨૫ કિલો/હેક્ટર મુજબ વાવણીના સમયે આપવાની અથવા ફેરસ સલ્ફેટ ૦.૫% (૭૫ ગ્રામ/૧૫ લીટર) +  સાઈટરીક એસીડ ૦.૧% (૧૫ ગ્રામ/૧૫ લીટર) નો જથ્થો વાવણી બાદ ૩૦ અને ૪૫ દિવસે છંટકાવ કરવાની ભલામણ કરવામાં આવે છે.          
2.    Study the fresh seed dormancy in sesame
       Sesame growing farmers of Saurashtra region are advised that freshly harvested seeds of white seeded sesame varieties GT-2, GT-3, TKG 22, Pragati and GT-5 produced in the previous season could not be utilized for sowing, as seed dormancy was found in these varieties and it was released after 115, 115, 95, 105 and 105 days after harvesting, respectively. However, black seeded variety GT 10 could be utilized for sowing in the next season, as it released the dormancy after at 35 days after harvesting (DAH).

      It is informed to scientific community that mungbean seed may be stored in normal condition packed in HDPE bags (500 guage) with seed tratment of cloth bag and polythylene bag (500 guage) with seed tratment (Neem seed kernal powder 5 to 10 g/kg seed or Neem Cake 5-10 g/kg seed) for a period of 2 years without deterioration of germination and seedling vigour.
5.   Effect of organic seed treatment on storability of wheat
     It is informed to scientific community that wheat seed may be stored under ambient storage condition packed with cloth bag with seed treatment of Neem Leaf Powder @ 2-5g/kg of seed or Sweet Flag Rhizome Powder @ 2-5g/kg of seed or Neem Seed Kernel Powder @ 2-5g/kg seed for a period of 20 months without deterioration in germination and seedling vigour.
6.   Heat stress mitigation through seed priming in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
      It is recommended to scientific community to grow wheat variety GW 366 in late sowing condition with seed priming of salicylic acid 50 ppm (Hormonal Priming ((50ml/l) for 14 hours followed by shade drying recorded the highest grain and biological yield per plant to mitigate heat stress (2023-24).
