| SERVICES OF NHRDF
| The NHRDF has established laboratories on Seed Technology, Plant Pathology, Entomology, Plant Physiology, Soil Testing and Bio-chemistry, Pesticides Residue Analysis. The basic aims of these laboratories are to analyze plant, soil, and seed samples obtained from the research and developmental activities. Due to consistent demand from the farmers/exporters as also to guide them on pathological, entomological and nutritional aspects for better productivity and quality, the services of these laboratories have been extended also to them and other such concerned. The NHRDF has also recently established a modern Pesticide Residue Analysis Laboratory at its Head Office Chitegaon, Nashik. The laboratory has also been recognized by APEDA and accredited by NABL for residue analysis in all export oriented agricultural produce especially grapes, pomegranate, mango, onion and other such products.
