If you are able to suggest me about the suitable crops for my area ,its cost of cultivation, availability of seedling materials and above all its marketing and returns .than it is easy for me to convince my clients.

I m producing kufri sutlej, kufri bahar,3797 a popular variety & seeking more from cpri kufri some drought resistant varieties b'cause north India is under severe drought water table has gone down ,since you are in irrigation tell me about irrigation in potato fields that will be of judicious use of water{potato is grown on ridges}

* Dear Anurag 
Thanks for information. pl let me know if you are dealing with true seeds or normal 
potato cuttings as seed. what will the price for nkufri bahar and 3797 if I require for Bangalore. 
secondly as far as irrigation is concerned the ideal would be drip irrigation but the same will cost about 50,000 /acre. otherwise I can suggest you mini plastic sprinkler of m/s NAAN Israel which can be made portable and with 25,000 y ou can start for first acre and then for every additional acre you have to spend 12,000.if you send me detail of area and type of soil , water availability, its source, power availability ( in hours) then I can suggest you more precisely, though the best would be physical survey.
