Margao, Nov 9: Goa Horticulture and Research department at old Goa, have decided to conduct research on variety of mangoes, which are extinct now and to preserve the same after.
Goa having more than 100 rich varieties of mangoes is slowly getting down from this number. Once upon time Goa was too famous for mango cultivation across the world. To maintain this credibility, this department has put a step forward to research on the extinct mangoes variety.
This department has urged farmers, if they have any information in this regard, then they can contact Dr S P Singh, senior researcher, Goa Horticulture and Research department Old Goa or can contact him at Phone: 2284678, 9423883325.
