Tel Aviv, Israel, May 9: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday visited the fields near Tel Aviv and interacted with farmers to have first-hand account of the latest Israeli technology, especially in horticulture and micro-irrigation.
Horticulture cultivation is catching the fancy of farmers in Haryana. While many farmers are taking to horticulture, those already into it are bringing more acres under vegetables and fruits. The Horticulture Department provides great support for the cultivation of vegetables. Besides, Haryana is also adopting micro-irrigation technology for the cultivation of crops to save water. This system can work on just 30 per cent water and save about 70 per cent.
