• Developed pollination technique for efficient hybrid seed production of brinjal Cv.Arka Navneet. • Standardised pollination technique for efficient hybrid seed production of chilli using Cytoplasmic genic male sterile lines to avoid emasculation • Standardised pollination technique for efficient hybrid seed production of tomato using exserted stigma (Ex-3) lines to avoid emasculation • Standardised the time of planting for effective synchronization of flowering in Cytoplasmic male sterile lines and Pollinator lines of Onion Cv.Arka Lalima. • The inheritance of seed dormancy in brinjal was found to be dominant the knowledge of which would be useful in brinjal breeding to incorporate or exclude seed dormancy. • Standardised pollination technique for efficient hybrid seed production of brinjal using functional male sterile line (ms-1) to avoid emasculation. • Optimised the planting ratio of functional male sterile line (ms-1) and Arka Keshav for natural cross pollination (with out emasculation) .5:1 was found to be optimum. • Identified the isolation requirements of ridge gourd • Standardised optimum seed to pollen ratio in hybrid seed production of tomato(Hybrid Arka Abhijit) • Standardised position and number of flowers/truss to be pollinated in hybrid seed production of tomato(Hybrid Arka Abhijit) • Standardised pollen collection method and drying in hybrid seed production of tomato (Hybrid Arka Abhijit) • Standardised the time of emasculation in crossing in Tomato in hybrid seed production of tomato (Hybrid Arka Abhijit) • Standardised the time of planting for synchronization of flowering in parental lines in Tomato (Hybrid Arka Abhijit) • Standardised optimum row ratio in hybrid seed production technology for natural cross pollination in chilli (using Cytoplasmic genic male sterile lines).3:1 was found to be optimum. • Identified the isolation requirements of tomato seed production using exserted stigma line. • Standardised technology for improving crossing efficiency in hand pollination of chilli using Cytoplasmic genic male sterile lines in hybrid Arka Harita (without emasculation) • Standardised technology for improving crossing efficiency in natural cross pollination of chilli using Cytoplasmic genic male sterile lines in hybrid Arka Harita (with out emasculation and pollination) • Identified reasons for poor seed set to improve seed production in china aster cv.Poornima (Powder Puff type) • Developed technology for improving for improving seed yield in china aster Cv.Poornima (Powder Puff type)
