December 17, 2015 to December 17, 2018
| Completed Project
The area under organic cultivation in India is estimated to be around 100,000 hectares. Besides, there are lakhs of hectares of forest area being certified as organic. Already some states like Uttarakhand and Sikkim have declared them as organic states.
Molecular Mapping of Pepper Leaf Curl Virus Resistance Gene in Capsicum Species
November 16, 2015 to November 16, 2018
| Completed Project
| Sustainable Agriculture
The project aims to characterising leaf curl disease resistance in wild capsicum species and developing breeding lines and PCR based markers. These tools would be helpful in developing leaf curl resistance chilli hybrids by seed companies.
