  6. Developed and validated new method for estimating wedelolactone content in Bhringaraj
  7. Developed and designed SSRs markers and  finger printing of  lines  in Betelvine and  Bhringaraj .
  8. Facilitated seed multiplication of  identified varieties of Velvet bean and Aswagandha through seed village concept and multiplying planting material of  more than sixty different herbs
Varieties / Technologies Developed: 

 

  1. Six superior non itchy lines with high seed yield and L dopa Content in Velvet bean
    (Mucuna pruriens var utilis) with varied crop duration and seed coat traits were identified for release from ICAR-IIHR . They are Arka Dhanvantari, Arka Aswini, Arka Daksha, Arka Charaka, Arka shubra, Arka Shukla well received by growers and Industry.
  2. Co developer of variety Arka Aswagandha a high root yielding line of Aswagandha
    (Withania somnifera) with higher chemical content is released from Institute
  3. Co developer of variety Aerobic rice Anagha BI-33 (ARB-6) is released and recommended for aerobic situation in zone 5 of Karnataka.
