Technical Feedback on the demonstrated technologies
|
S. No
|
Feed Back
|
|
1. Chickpea :-G Gram-3
|
• It is good variety over local variety for all parameters.
• Farmer demanded seeded verities for vegetable purpose in both irrigated & non irrigated conditions.
• Farmers demanded adequate seed quantity availability at the time of sowing.
|
|
2. Cumin :- GC-4
|
• High yielder and wilt resistance but delayed germination observed.
• Farmer demanded blight resistant variety.
|
|
3. Wheat : GW: 366
|
• Yield better than Lok-1 and GW-496, baking quality observed good.
|
|
4. Sesame
|
• Guj. Til-3 gave higher yield as compare to local varieties.
|
|
5. Green gram
|
• Guj. Green Gram-4 is superior over K-851, It is also suitable for late monsoon condition.
|
|
6. Cotton
|
• Farmer demanded sucking pest tolerant variety.
• Location specific varieties should be developed
• Bt. cotton requires more water and nutrient, do not withstand in moisture and nutrient stress conditions. So drought tolerant variety should supply.
• Letter stage of crop infected by pink boll worm so required tolerant Bt cotton varieties.
