How this encyclopedia was built

Topic selection came from the questions Indian farmers actually ask. Every fact and claim was then cross-checked against ICAR, state agricultural universities, official scheme portals, CIBRC pesticide labels, and product manufacturer technical pages.

Entries that could not be externally verified are not included.
