Collaborations

IISR is committed to develop and strengthen linkages with national and international institutions involved in sugarcane research and development as well as strengthening the existing AICRP(S). With the emergence of private sector in agricultural research and development, public-private partnership in sugarcane research and development will be forthcoming for strategic and locations specific technology development and dissemination. To meet the quality seed requirement sugar mills have to come in a big way to boost the production and productivity of sugarcane.
