6 | Enhancing Breeder Seed Production for increasing Indigenous Production of Millets in India | IIMR,
Hyderabad |
2019-20 | 2023-24 | Increased Production of Breeder seeds of Millets | |
7 | Revival of Sunflower Cultivation | IIOR, Hyderabad | 2022-23 | 2023-24 | Strengthened the seed production of sunflower parental lines and hybrids | |
8 | Development of demonstration and business model for soil-less agriculture production system at UAS, Bangalore. | RKVY-GOI | 2021-22 | 2023-24 | Study come out with water and space and nutrients saving technologies for any agriculture production system and to narrow the uncertainty in agriculture.
Providing proper technical knowledge to rural youths to attracted them to modern agriculture methods and it in turn reduce the unemployment problem as well. Established art of facility of the soilless agri demonstration plot with all the models throughout the year. |
|
9 | Understanding the bio-chemical composition of seed coat in different crops to develop biodegradable membrane for encapsulation. | M/s TruCapsol LLC, Bethlehem, Philadelphia, USA | 2020-21 | 2023-24 | The results of seed coat of soybean contrast colour showed that black genotypes performed better than white in storage. This we have shown mainly due to the black seed coat’s physical and chemical properties. The seed coat composition of white (JS 335) and black (Bhatt) soybean with differential water permeability show variations in their chemistry and metabolite diversity. |
