Jurisdiction
/ Area of operation
The state of U.P. has an
overall 09 agro-climatic zones out of which 3 agro-climate zones fall under the
jurisdiction of this University. There are four divisions namely Saharanpur,
Meerut, Moradabad and Bareilly which consists of 18 districts viz. Saharanpur,
Muzaffarnagar-1, Muzaffarnagar-2, Meerut, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Ghaziabad,
Bulandshahr, Bagphat, Bijnor, Jyotibaphule Nagar, Moradabad-1, Moradabad-2,
Rampur, Bareilly, Pilibhit, Baduan-1, Badaun-2, Sambhal, Shamli, Hapur, Amroha
and Shajahanpur. Western Uttar Pradesh has great potential of growing
sugarcane, rice and wheat besides many other vegetables and 2 fodder crops due to its
highly fertile land structure. Farmers obtain their livelihood by growing these
crops apart from the livestock and milk production through lactating animals
and poultry.

Niche
Area of Excellence
Bio-control laboratory
was initially established with the help of the grant received from the
government of India through UPCAR. In 1999, this laboratory was made functional
with the grant received from UPDASP-IPM. It was only then that the real start
of the bio-intensive IPM program took place. Now, it is established as a
leading laboratory of UP to propagate and promote IPM technology including mass
production and supply of Bio-agents to state functionaries and farmers.
·
