Significant Achievements:
Technologies developed:
· Enhanced yield of Pleurotus eryngii (king oyster mushroom) using locally available casing materials.
· Standardized cultivation technology of Ganoderma lucidum, a medicinal mushroom on wheat straw supplemented with rice bran (10%).
· Standardized cultivation technology of Agrocybe aegerita (black poplar mushroom) on wheat straw supplemented with wheat bran (10%).
Involvement in varietal development
· Vivek Matar 13 (VP 907)- Early maturity, Hybridization (VP 272 / Arkel) followed by pedigree method, Yield: 115 q/ha (green pod)
· Vivek Matar 14 (VP 1018) - Medium maturity & resistant to powdery mildew, Hybridization (PC 531 / Pusa Pragati) followed by pedigree method, Yield: 125 q/ha (green pod)
· Vivek Matar 15 (VP 1208)- Medium maturity& moderately resistant to powdery mildew, Hybridization (PC 531 / Arkel) followed by pedigree method, Yield: 128 q/ha (green pod)
· VL Soya 89-Suitable for timely sown rainfed conditions of Northern Hill Zone (Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh), developed from the cross VLS 47/EC 361364, resistant to frog eye leaf spot, bacterial pustules and pod blight disease.
· VL Matar 61- Tall type field pea variety VL Matar 61 was notified for cultivation for timely sown rainfed condition of Uttarakhand hills. This high yielding (average yield: 1,130 kg/ha) variety developed from a cross between 'DDR 23/VL 1'. It has a yield superiority of 11.54% over the best check Pant Pea 14 and 16.37% over VL Matar 42, which was the national and state check for more than a decade. It matures in 152-156 days and moderately resistant against wilt, powdery mildew, aphid incidence, pod damage and leaf minor damage.
