24 Jul Hybrid seed production technology of rapeseed-mustard
सरसों (रेपसीड) की संकर बीज उत्पादन करने की तकनीक The potential of the conventionally bred open pollinated varieties has been exploited to its maximum level resulting in a platue in the productivity level, which breeder often calls as yield stagnancy. Here we need to exploit the heterosis i.e. hybrid vigour to break the yield platue. Three hybids, namely NRCHB 101, NRCHB 506 and Dhara mustard hybrid-1 were released in 2008. Development of a successful hybrid seed production technology in a crop is essential for the extension of hybrid technology to farmers. Standardization of sowing time and planting ratio is an important aspect for economic hybrid seed production and it is more valid...
