Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Dimapur, organized a Field Day on the soybean variety Dsb-32 under the Cluster Frontline Demonstration (CFLD) on Oilseeds at a demonstration plot in Sunito Village on 07.10.2025. The event was aimed at showcasing the performance, agronomic management, pest/disease behaviour, and farmers’ adoption potential of Dsb-32 under local conditions.
More than 22 farmers from Sunito and Togukha villages, extension officers, Subject Matter Specialists, and stakeholders participated in the occasion. The field was laid out in replicated demonstration plots having Dsb-32 and a local check (Aikhu), with clear tagging of key parameters.
Dr. Bendangla Imsong SMS/CTO (Plant Breeding), KVK Dimapur, delivered a technical overview on the variety’s traits, recommended management practices (spacing, seed rate, weed control, etc.), and shared preliminary data from the demonstration. The participants walked through the plots, observed plant growth, pod formation, pest incidence and yield indicators. A panel discussion allowed farmers to ask directly about challenges in soybean cultivation and possible solutions.
Dr. Moanaro, Technical Offer (Entomology), addressed integrated pest and disease management strategies and insect scouting thresholds. Farmers shared their experiences in soybean cultivation and expressed interest in adopting Dsb-32 for the coming seasons.
At the close, KVK Dimapur distributed watering can, gardening tools. The event ended with a vote of thanks and refreshments, allowing informal interactions between scientists and farmers. Altogether there were 25 participants.
