  1. RESEARCH (during 2018-2019)

Groundnut:

Culture proposed for MLT: 

  • The culture TVG 17180  is cross derivative of ICGV 07240 x R 2001-2.
  • It yielded 4248 kg / ha (Kharif) & 4741 kg/ ha (rabi).
  •  It  matures in 105-110 days.
  • It is having shelling of 70 % with 92% SMK and 42 gm of 100 kernel weight & 110 gm of 100 pod weight.
  • This culture completely free from to rust disease and late leaf spot.
  • This culture proposed for MLT and AICRP during 2019.

 Culture in MLT: 

  • The culture TVG 10342 is the cross derivative of TCGS 653 x ICGV 99025.
  • This culture yielded 2665 kg / ha (Kharif and 2618 kg/ ha during rabi season. This culture matures in 105 days.
  • This culture tested in MLT  during Kharif 2017, Rabi17-18, Kharif 2018, rabi 2018-19 and is tested in AICRP (G) Kharif 2017.

 Culture in MLT:

  • The groundnut culture TVG 12363 is Spanish bunch type
  • It is cross derivative of ALG 234 x AK 267
  • This culture yielded 2453 kg / ha during Kharif and 2620 kg/ ha during rabi season.
  • This culture matures in 105 days.
  • This culture proposed for MLT during Kharif 2018 and rabi 2018-19.

 New Variety released

  • Culture TVG 0856 was identified as best in station trials
  • Tested in MLT, ART and released as TMV 14 (2018).
  • This culture yielded 2124 kg / ha during Kharif   and 2286 kg/ ha during rabi season.
  • It matures in 95-100 days.
  • This cultures having shelling of 70.6 % with 92% SMK & 38gm of 100 kernel weight.
  • This culture completely resistant to rust disease & tolerant to late leaf spot (Score -2.0)

Sesame:

Pre-release white sesame culture TVS 1401

White seeded sesame culture TVS 1401 derived out of mutation from TMV 5 is in pipeline.

Special features:

  • Whiter than SVPR 1 white seeded variety.
  • Short duration less than 85 days.
  • High yield.

Microbiology:

  • New rhizobial strain has been isolated from moth bean nodules. The cultures were subjected for 16SrRNA sequencing and culture number MB-1 was identified as Rhizobium skierniewicense.

Seed Technology:

Single pod experiment:

  • The single pods soaked for 20 hrs performed on par with  kernel sowing for the growth and yield parameters viz., days to emergence, initial flowering, pegging, No. of seeds and seed yield when compared to dry pod sowing. Hence single pod sowing can be recommended.
