overview

The Medium Pressing Tool developed by ICAR-CTRI enables uniform compaction of coir-pith growth medium in polytrays, replacing manual filling, which is slow, uneven, and labor-intensive. This simple wooden device with rubber corks ensures consistent cavity formation, supporting faster, healthier, and disease-free FCV tobacco seedling production while reducing drudgery in nurseries.
