Code :
|
BT6-12
|
Title :
|
Progeny Test Programme-Tenera(T)
|
Objectives :
|
1) To progeny-test elite AAR duras and pisifera progenies for selection of superior progeny-tested parents for seed and clonal seed production.
|
2) To progeny-test AAR second generation Dy.AVROS pisifera and duras.
|
|
3) To identify T selfed progenies from DxT progeny-test as source of superior pisifera for hybrid seed production besides further breeding.
|
|
4) To identify outcrossed/recombinants duras and tenera parents which combine well for hybrid seed production.
|
|
5) To conduct comparative trial of commercial DxP materials from various sources.
