Varieties / Technologies Developed: 

Contributed for development of resistant hybrids in vegetables; multiple disease resistant tomato hybrids H 397 (ArkaAbhed) ,Arka Vishesh and Arka Apeksha. Downy mildew tolerant cucumber variety Arka Veera and Phytophthora root rot resistant chilli hybrids (Arka Nihira and Arka  Gagan, Arka Dhriti), Gummy stem blight resistant bottle gourd varieties and hybrids Arka Nutan, Arka Ganga & Arka Shreyas.
