This year he also planted betel vine plant in 14 decimal lands. He hoped that he will be earned above Tk 100,000, but one day he found that, root of betel vine plant become rotten. Then he contacted with CIC for the solution regarding betel vine plant root disease. He was advised to use a fungicide named ‘Score 250 EC’ by agricultural specialist through Nzirpur CIC. Once he had used the fungicide, the problem nearly stopped spreading. For this disease he might have lost Tk 50,000. Now he able to earn around Tk 30,000 by applying suggested fungicide. Mr. Sukumar baroi is very excited about this. In past, when he had a similar problem than he would go to Sub-Assistant agricultural Officer/Pesticide and insecticide dealers for the solutions, but in most cases it would be able a lengthy process and some time success was not ensured.
Now he is confident that in the future, he will be able to get even more benefit from this service and he is encouraging the other farmers in his area to use the agricultural service of e-Krishok from Nazirpur CIC.
