Contribution to the scientific advancement
  1. During the year 2009-10 the IIOR was holding 1330 germplasm accessions.  Due to continuous augmentation of the germplasm which has increased from 1330 to 3126 in the past 10 years.  
  2. Published the Sunflower Germplasm Catalogue in collaboration with UAS Bangalore, ORS, Latur and NBPGR, New Delhi for sunflower 3126 accessions and distributed to all the AICRP sunflower breeders during the “Sunflower Annual Group Meeting” held at IIOR, Hyderabad during 17th to 19th May, 2018. The catalogue presents comprehensive and sound scientific content aiming at increasing awareness of the extent of sunflower accessions available and diversity available in sunflower. 
  3. With significant contribution in the area of sunflower germplasm management an international collaborative project for Rs.30.0 lakh with Prof. L.H. Riseberg, University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada was initiated during 2017-18 in which he is Indian PI, entitled as “Evaluation of sunflower pre-bred lines for stress resistance and association trade-offs with yield” funded by The Global Crop Trust (The Crop Trust) Germany. A total of 395 pre-bred lines were augmented from Ames, USDA through proper channel. This project is approved by ICAR vide letter no. F.No.C.S.12 (10)/2017-O&P dated 12.02.2018. and DARE vide letter no. F.No. G. -07/15/2019-IC-VC dated 8th Nov.2019. 
  4. Developed and identified IIOSH-2 sunflower test hybrid entry for AICRP multilocation evaluation during 2016 which was under 3rd year of AICRP kharif testing during 2018-19. 
  5. Associated in development of sunflower hybrid LSFH-171 for Maharashtra and AP states. Notification number S.O. 6318 (E), dated 26th Dec.2018. 
  6. Associated in development of the joint sunflower hybrid COH-3 for Tamil Nadu. Notification number S.O. 6318(E), dated 26th Dec.2018.  
  7. Associated in development of sunflower variety Phule Bhaskar (SS-0808) for Maharashtra by SVRC with notification number as S.N. 3540(E), 22-11-2016.
  8. Associated in development of sunflower high oil content genetic stock (HOSuS-1) developed through introduction and selection and registered with NBPGR New Delhi.
Projects completed
  1. Diversification of Parental Base and Development of Elite Lines, Populations, Varieties and Hybrids in Sunflower (2009 – 2013), In-house project
  2. Augmentation, Characterization, Maintenance, Evaluation and Utilization of Sunflower Germplasm (2009 – 2014), In-house project
  3. Introgression of Resistance to Alterneria and Sunflower Necrosis Disease in Sunflower (2009 – 2014), In-house project
  4. Evaluation of sunflower pre-bred lines for stress resistance and association trade-offs with yield (2018-20) in collaboration with UBC, Canada and funded by Global Crop Trust Germany
