Department of Agriculture Extension’s (DAE) Deputy Director (DD) S.M. Idris Ail said, ” the farmers of Domar, Jaldhaka , Dimla kishorganj and sadar upazila under Nilphamari district had been widely cultivated of the Seetaria-ltalika’ crop locally known as ‘kaun Rice’ earlier and achieved little benefit.
