Our main research objectives are: |
 |
To Develop hybrids and inbred varieties that yield more than any comparable variety. |
|
This involves: |
| Acquiring and developing wide and elite germplasm base |
| Development of elite lines as parental lines for hybrids |
| Population improvement |
| Use of new and innovative approaches like MAB (Molecular Assisted Breeding)
|
|
|
To Develop products that are resistant and tolerant to biotic stresses (ever evolving |
| diseases and insects) and abiotic stresses of water scarcity, salinity and unusual |
|
temperatures. This involves: |
| Developing screening techniques for different diseases, insects and abiotic |
| stresses |
| Identifying and using feasible markers |
| Promoting co-operation among pathologist, entomologist and biochemists |
| community with breeders |
|
|
To Develop products that are tasty to eat, nutritious & healthy keeping in |
|
mind the preferences of end consumers. This involves: |
| Physical and visual screening for quality parameters |
| Organolyptic tests |
| Chemical tests |
| Co-operative relationship between biochemist and breeder |
|
|
To Develop production package for fellow farmers that will enable them to produce potential |
|
yields from our hybrids and inbred varieties. This involves: |
| Agronomic trials at representative agro climatic zones |
| Layout and observations by competent and trained staff |
|
|
To Develop feasible and economic seed production package of all hybrids. This involves: |
| Development of parental lines with out crossing traits |
| Identification of locations for timely and potential yields |
| Generation nicking and synchronization data |
|
|
To Implement and invent technologies that are crop and environment friendly. |
