Maximising Production and Development of Uganda - 1 Cotton Strain in Madras State

Abstract

The introduction and functioning of the Certification Scheme presents a very favourable opportunity to maximise production and development of the improved Cambodia strain, Madras Uganda 1, in a pure state, on a large scale in a short period. The provisions of the Cambodia Co. 4 production and certification orders which are based on the conditions prescribed in notifications issued by Textile Commissioner, Bombay under the Cotton Control Order, require that the Uganda seeds sown by growers should be duly approved and supplied by the Department of Agriculture of the State, and the crop so raised alone is entitled to be certified by the scheme for purposes of exemption from price control. This proviso would naturally force the large number of Uganda growers in the concerned districts to approach the Department for supply of pure seeds during the coming season and consequently the demand for seeds would be heavy and the department should be in a position to maintain adequate stocks of pure seeds to meet the entire needs of the cultivators.
