Diversification of male sterility sources in hybrid breeding programme
Wild relatives accessions are crossed with the cultivated types and the derived populations are searched for the expression of male sterility traits. The identified male sterile are tested for the stability of the sterility ...
Field demonstrations conducted with best-bet varieties in Asia
In 2016, 1500 on farm demonstrations and 13 FPVS trails are in progress in diffenrt states of India. Holistic interventions such as soil test based fertilizer application, dibbling method of sowing, treatment of bio ...
Evaluation of wide hybridization derived lines for yield and related traits
Wild relatives of pigeonpea possess desirable attributes to combat biotic stresses. The introgressed lines also serve as source for genetic enhancement for yield and related agronomical traits.
Commercial hybrid cultivation production promoted in at least 100,000 ha
In 2016, a quantity of 705 tons of hybrid pigeonpea seeds were produced by all the stake holders Which was sufficient to cover 140000 has of area with hybrid pigeonpea seeds. An area of 680 has is under seed production by ...
Obcordate leaf shape hybrid parental line development
Quality hybrid production is the key requisite in the commercial hybrid production. The genetically uniform parental lines and commercial hybrids are necessary in production and marketing of quality hybrid crops. Grow out ...
Multilocation evaluation of elite varieties and hybrids by NARS in India
There is a need to test different varieties and hybrid combinations in varied agro ecologies prevailing in major pigeonpea growing regions to find out suitability and adaptability of the cultivars. In Pigeonpea Genotype x ...
Varietal improvement for seed and maturity traits by broadening the genetic base
77 F3 progenies were studied in 2016 season and superior single plant selections with good seed traits were selected for further study in 2017 season. In super early group (which mature in less than 100 days) stabilized ...
