47th Sorghum AGM - Bengaluru April 2017
Major thrust at the centre1. Development of grain sorghum varieties/Hybrid for Kharif and Rabi
seasons.
2. Develop and evaluate genotypes for Hudda purpose.
3. Development of single-cut as well as multi-cut fodder varieties.
4. Development of appropriate crop management practices andformulation of efficient sorghum based cropping systems forsustainable sorghum production.
5. Conducting investigation on key pests i.e. stem borer, shoot fly, mitesand diseases of sorghum i.e. grain mold, ergot, leaf spot etc.
6. Transfer of technologies through on-farm and frontline demonstrations
6 F3254 132 To develop high yielding Rabi genotype107 63 For grain quality as like Nizer Goti and BP-53
7 F456 43 Rabi high yielding genotype79 68 Rabi genotype with grain quality
IV. Hudda Genotype: Rabi 2016-178 F3 39 12 To develop Hudda Variety
Other breeding activites9 MS base crossing programme: 60 crosses made to develop Hybrid.10 Evaluation of ICRISAT variety and Hybrid: Twelve.11 A, B and R line collection and maintenance AB line: 51, R line: =73. 12 Initiated work to develop & evaluate sorghum genotypes suitable for early summer.13 Initiated work to develop & evaluate sorghum genotypes suitable Hudda purpose : 15 lines
collected from Wani local and 5 IPS selected.
