Research Accomplishments: 

(During the Period of 2019-2023)

  1. Pollen selection strategies were effectively utilized for varietal development in vegetativley propagated crops where seed set and germination were problems
  2. Multiple forms of male sterility, inheritance pattern, maintenance strategies were worked out for hybrid seed production
  3. Digital repositories  were developed for data retrieval and exchange of germplasm
  4. E books were developed for ease of spreading the knowledge generated and varietal wealth created
  5. Varieties were commercialized by licensing to nurseries for ensuring quality planting material of developed varieties.
Varieties / Technologies Developed: 

 

  1. Three African Marigold varieties (Arka Bangara, Arka Bangara -2, Arka Agni) were released by central variety release committee and notified in the gazette.
  2. Two  French Marigold varieties (Arka Pari and Arka Madhu) were released by central variety release committee and notified in the gazette.
  3. Three F1 hybrids (Arka Abhi, Arka Bhanu, Arka Vibha) of marigold were developed with higher yield and enhanced shelf life.
  4. One F1 hyrbid (Arka Shubha) was developed for higher carotenoid content
  5. Rose variety Arka Savi was developed for open field cultivation.  For aromatic and nutraceutical components Arka Parmala and Arka Sukanya were developed.   Arka Sinchana, Arka Kinnari and Arka Sharmeeli have been developed for garden display.
  6. Two cut flower varieties of roses (Arka Swadesh and Arka Ivory) were registered with PPV&FRA
  7. Carnation variety Arka Flame was registered with PPV &FRA
