VISTAS
Development
of pulses varieties possessing resistance to abiotic (drought, high
temperature, cold and iron-deficiency chlorosis) and biotic (diseases)
stresses for different production areas.
Development of most suitable package of technology for different
areas and cropping systems.
Production of pre-basic and basic seed of newly evolved genotypes
for its further multiplication through Punjab Seed Corporation. |
