Technical Feedback on the demonstrated technologies
|
Chickpea : -GJG-3
|
1 It is good variety over local variety for all parameters.
2 Farmer demanded seeded verities for vegetable purpose in both irrigated & non irrigated conditions.
3 Average 2-3 grains per pod is found in GJG3 variety whereas in local variety only 1-2 grains were observed.
4 In nutshell, farmers preferred GJG3 variety due to High Yielding character, bold seeded size and prominent to wilt resistant.
5 Grain size of this variety is also of bold than local variety, hence may fetch good market price.
|
|
Cumin :- GC-4
|
1 High yielder and wilt resistance but delayed germination observed.
2 Farmer demanded blight resistant variety.
|
|
Wheat : GW-366
|
Yield better than Lok-1 and GW-496, baking quality observed good.
|
|
Sesame : GT-3
|
Guj. Til-3 is higher yielder over all local varieties.
|
|
Green gram : GM-4
|
GM-4 is bold seeded and it is also suitable for late monsoon condition.
|
|
Groundnut
|
GJG-31:-
1 good for pod and fodder yield
2 resistant against stem rot disease
GJG-9:-
1 Early mature variety
2 Higher yielder over all local varieties.
GJG-22:-
1 Medium seeded variety
2 Resistant against stem rot disease
3 Higher yielder over all local varieties.
|
|
Brinjal (GJLB-4)
|
1 Higher yielder over local varieties.
2 Less infection observed fruit borer and white fly
|
|
Tomato (JT-3)
|
Higher yielder over all local varieties.
