Description

On 26 July 1966, Afghanistan created a national research farm designed to test new crop varieties and soil treatments. Agricultural scientists used the facility to evaluate irrigation methods, fertilizer mixes, and seed resilience. Data produced at the farm supported nationwide agricultural planning. The site also hosted workshops for farmers to learn modern cultivation practices. The research farm became a cornerstone of mid-century agricultural development.
