Contribution to the scientific advancement

A. Varieties/Technology: As a Co-developer three high yielding varieties of mungbean were developed and notified for Uttar Pradesh and NEPZ are as follows.

  • IPM 512-1 (Soorya): Developed from the cross IPM 99-125 /Co-5 Suitable for spring cultivation in NEPZ, mean yield 14-15 q/ha, highly resistant to MYV disease, Cercospora leaf spot and anthracnose, matures in 65-70 days
  • IPM 312-20 (Vasudha): Developed from the cross IPM 03-1 X SPS 5, this genotype exhibited >18% superiority over the best check IPM 99-125 in U.P. State Adaptive Trials 2014-17. This variety has been released for cultivation during the Spring season in Uttar Pradesh
  • IPM 409-4 (Heera): The genotype IPM 409-4 has been developed from PDM 288 x IPM 03-1 and it performed consistently better over the best check IPM 99-125 in U.P. State Adaptive Trials during the Spring season. It also has extra early maturity (55 days) and has green, medium-large (3.5g/100 seed), and shining seeds. This variety has been released for cultivation during the Spring season in Uttar Pradesh

B. Genetic stocks developed & registered at NBPGR, Gene Bank, New Delhi:

  • Rajmash/Common bean: Two donor registered for Bean common mosaic Virus Resistance such as IC340947 (ING21103), & IC360831 (ING21136)
  • Mungbean: Three donor registered such as IPM 604-1-7 (Golden yellow seed color), IPM 526-11 (YMV resistant) & IC248326 (Bruchid resistant/tolerant)
