New Delhi : By using radiation induced mutagenesis along with cross breeding, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has developed two mutants of rice : Trombay Raipur Rice-1(TRR-1), and Trombay Konkan Kolam (TKKR-13), and one mutant of cowpea, Trombay Cowpea 901 (TC901), which have been identified for release.
The BARC has also developed several mutants of groundnut, mustard, cowpea, blackgram, greengram, soybean, rice and wheat which are undergoing advance field trials in State Agricultural Universities. The major desirable traits in these crops include higher yield, seed size, improved agronomic and quality traits, early maturity and stress tolerance.
The BARC developed mutant crop varieties have high patronage from the farming community and are extensively grown in different states of the country. Popularization is done by linkages established with State Agricultural Universities through kisan mela, frontline demonstrations / exhibitions and awareness programmes.

Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every
day. It’s always exciting to read content from other authors and use something from other sites.
Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Hello there, I think your web site may be having browser compatibility
issues. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE, it
has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Besides that, fantastic blog!
Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog
jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Bless you
