Completed Research Activities

  • Disseminate the learning and practices of past R&D activities at farmer’s fields to enhance crop productivity and profitability at farm level.
  • 1000 acre seed of newly approved varieties dully certified and tagged by FSC&RD were provided to the seed multiplying agencies and progressive farmers.
  • Develop and evaluate, in partnership with farmers, site specific village based seed production and dissemination system to facilitate access to improved varieties.
  • Promotion of Gram Cultivation through Life Saving Irrigation with Sprinkler System under Changing Climate alongwith  R&D activities at farm families were carried out
  • Genetic improvement of chickpea for better nodulation, root length and yield through hybridization and mutation breeding.
  • Enhancement of mungbean and gram production in Thal  through development of improved genotypes and  technologies  to reduce pulse import bill
