FOREWORD

Improved varieties play pivotal role in enhancing productivity of any crop. Improved variety

alone can add 20‐25 % to increased productivity, even if other components of production remain the

same. Improved varieties/hybrids of cereals and millets helped in ushering the green revolution.

Through National Food Security Mission enhancement in the production of rice, wheat and pulses is

aimd at on sustainable basis. In this mission improved varieties are involved in several interventions

such as demonstrations, seed distribution, mini‐kit trial, etc. The improved varieties of these crops will

help in enhancing production by creating awareness among the farmers through these interventions.

Fortunately, excepting pigeonpea, all the crops are self‐pollinated hence the maintenance of the genetic

purity is not a problem. Awareness about the improved varieties of these crops among the farmers and

extension workers is most important for their spread. The list of “Improved varieties/hybrids of rice,

wheat and pulses recommended varieties of rice, wheat and pulses or NFSM states” will be quite

useful to seed producing, seed certification and seed marketing agencies in the country, besides the

farmers who will have the choice for selecting varieties according to their need. The efforts made by Dr

Shanker Lal, National Consultant (seeds), NFSM in compilation of improved varieties of three NFSM

crops are quite praiseworthy. This bulletin will be quite useful to the farmers, agriculture extension

workers, seed producing and certifying agencies and seeds men.

PREFACE

Improved varieties of crop species play pivotal role in enhancing production. This has, amply,

been demonstrated through the distribution of quality seeds of high yielding varieties/hybrids of cereals

and millets.

The National Food Security Mission launched by GOI in 17 states in the country aims at

increasing production of food grains through three major crops viz., rice, wheat and pulses (chickpea,

pigeonpea, urdbean, mungbean, lentil and fieldpea and minor pulses like mothbean, horsegram,

cowpea, lathyrus and rajma which are of local importance). Unless the farmers are aware of improved

varieties of these crops, the demand for seeds cannot be generated and consequently the seed

producing agencies cannot plan their seed production and marketing programmes. This will slow down

the varietal replacement rate and the old low yielding varieties will continue in the cultivation.

Therefore, it was felt necessary to prepare the list of recently released varieties/hybrids of these three

mission crops in the form of bulletin.

This bulletin outlines as how the varieties are developed, released, notified, de‐notified and re‐

notified. State wise varieties/hybrids of wheat, rice, pulses have been listed in ten tables. In each crop

the varieties have been classified according to age into three groups i.e., varieties of more than 15 years

old, varieties of more than 10 years old and less than 15 years old and varieties upto 10 years old. In

NFSM, varieties upto 10 years old are allowed for subsidy. The information on each variety included the

year of release, age, duration, production conditions and special features (resistance to diseases, insect

pests, tolerance to abiotic stresses, grain quality, etc).

The information provided in the bulletin will be of immense value to the farmers, extension

workers, seed producing and marketing agencies. This will also help in increasing production of the

three mission crops.

Introduction

Food grains are comprised of rice, wheat, pulses and millets, of which former three have been included in National

Food Security Mission launched by GOI.

The food grain production in India has increased from 82.08 million tonnes from 115.58 million hectares of area

during 1960‐61 to 211.78 million tonnes from 124.07 million hectares during 2006‐07 (Annexure: I).This exhibits 158

percent increase during a period of 46 years. As a result, the nation became almost self‐sufficient in food grains. But the

population in the country is growing at an alarming rate of around 2.5% per year. This necessitates that the food grain

production should also increase at least at the same rate or even at a faster rate in order to improve the nutrition status of

the masses.

The impressive increase in food grain production (Annexure: I) has resulted, in addition to other components,

primarily due to improved crop varieties, capable of exploiting the environment so provided. Better environment alone

cannot lead to better yields from genetically inferior varieties, beyond a certain limit. Similarly, improving the environment

beyond a certain limit for any variety may also adversely affect its performance. For example, the tall varieties of wheat

respond to nitrogen application upto 60 kg/ha, but higher doses used to reduce the yield, mainly due to lodging. Now

improved varieties of dwarf wheat have been tailored which give increased yield upto, even beyond 120 kg N/ha

application. The present day improved varieties of rice, wheat and pulses possess all or combinations of major characters

which enable the farmers for wider choice.

2. Definition of the variety

It is a strain released by Central / State Variety Release Committee for commercial cultivation by the farmers. It is

a synonym of strain, cultivar, race and genotype. However, the term variety is most commonly used by the farmers,

agriculture workers and seedsmen.

3. Variety‐development

It takes 10‐12 years to develop a variety, depending upon the method of breeding employed. Various methods

(introduction, selection, hybridization, mutation, poly‐plodization, biotechnological means, etc) have been designed to

breed the varieties. The specific objectives of breeding would vary greatly from crop to crop. Some of the main objectives

of breeding are higher yield, improved quality, disease and insect pest resistance, tolerance to abiotic stresses, change in

maturity duration, improved agronomic characteristics, photo/thermo‐insensitivity, synchronous maturity, non‐shattering/

non‐lodging habit, determinate growth, dormancy, elimination of toxic substances, suitability to new seasons/areas, etc.

The State Agricultural Universities, ICAR Institutes, Research Stations under State Department of Agriculture and

some NGOs are engaged in variety development. When a variety of food grains (rice, wheat and pulses) is developed, it

goes under series of tests before it is released for commercial cultivation. These steps are summarized below.

3.1 Varietal evaluation: In order to assess the superiority of a newly developed variety over the existing best variety

in terms of yield and other important traits it is evaluated in various trials and tests as detailed

2

below.

3.1.1 Station Trial: It is conducted by the breeder who develops the variety. It is conducted for one or more years

before it is entered in the trial conducted under All India Coordinated Crop Improvement Project.

3.1.2 Multi‐location Trials: These trials are carried out under concern crop coordinated Project at several locations

in the region. Since the soil and climatic conditions vary from one region to another, the country has been divided

into several zones. The three NFSM crops are tested in 9 agro‐climatic zones (Annexure: II) in the following trials.

3.1.3 Initial Evaluation Trial (IET): The new strain developed is included in the IET within the zone in which it was

developed. Such strain is called entry which is tested for one year only. Such entries are promoted to Uniform

Regional Trial (URT), if their performance is outstanding, otherwise are rejected.

3.1.4 Uniform Regional Trial (URT): The superior entries found in IET are promoted to URT which is conducted at 25‐

30 locations within the zone. Every year the entry performing poor is rejected and the ones found superior to check

are identified for release in the workshop.

3.1.5 Agronomic Trial: The entry showing superior performance in URT during first year is also included in the

agronomic trial to work out its suitable agronomy.

3.1.6 Adoptive Research Trial: The varieties identified by the workshop are tested in the adoptive Research Trial.

The data generated from such trials are considered for release of the variety.

3.1.7 Mini‐kit Trials: Such trials are conducted by Crops Division of Ministry of Agriculture, GOI on farmers’ fields. In

wheat, 5 or 10kg seed is planted without replication. In this system, the new variety reaches to the farmers

one year earlier than the certified seed would be available in the market.

4. Identification of entries for release

The outstanding entries are identified for release as new varieties in the annual workshops of the coordinated projects.

The proposals for identification are examined by the Variety Identification Committee.

The proposal for identification is prepared on the prescribed proforma by the breeders who have developed the

variety. Such proposals include the performance of the entry in URT for at least two years, the data from pathologists,

entomologists, quality tests, etc and those from agronomy trials are considered. The entry considered suitable for release

as a variety by the workshop is said to have been identified for pre‐release multiplication or simply as identified. The

criterion for identification of a variety varies from crop to crop. However, it should be superior to existing best variety and

possessing resistance to major diseases and insect pests and one or two distinguishing characters. In addition, the breeder

must be able to spare 10 quintals seed of the proposed variety for supply to State Farms Corporation of India for pre‐

release multiplication as well as for distribution in adoptive and mini‐kit trials.

4.1 Release of variety by the Central Variety Release Committee: After identification by the workshop the variety is tested

at least for one year in adopted research trial. During this period, the reaction of the variety to diseases and insect

pests and assessment of quality parameters are done. Based on the data from the adopted trials, the proposal for its

release as a new variety for consideration by the Central Sub‐Committee on Crop Standards and Release of Varieties

is submitted on the prescribed proforma (Annexure: III.).

3

4.2 Release of the variety by State Variety Release Committee: In addition to the Central Sub‐Committee on Crop

Standards and Release of Varieties, each state has its own variety release committee (SVRC). However, the SVRC

requires a separate set of trials which are conducted at the Regional Research Stations of that state, in addition to the

data generated from coordinated multi‐location trials.

5. Notification of the varieties

After the variety has been released by the Central/State Variety Release Committee the Department of Agriculture

and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, GOI notifies it before its seed can be certified. Only those varieties are

notified which have been identified for pre‐release multiplication by the workshop of concern crop coordinated

project. However, SVRC may release a variety, which has not been identified by the workshop of concern crop

coordinated project or even such strains which were not evaluated under the project, but such varieties cannot be

notified and also the seed of such varieties cannot be certified.

6. De‐ notification of the varieties

The old varieties which have degenerated in genetic quality and performance are de‐notified by the GOI and their

replacements are suggested. Such varieties cease eligibility for seed certification.

7. Re‐notification of the varieties

The old varieties which continue to perform better and are popular among the farmers are re‐notified for specific

period and continue to have eligibility for seed multiplication and certification.

8. Seed Multiplication

When the entry is identified by the workshop, the breeder begins its seed multiplication in the following crop

season. The seed produced by the breeder is termed as ‘Stock Seed’. This stock seed is converted into breeder seed

once the strain is released and notified. In the crop season following notification the foundation seed of newly released

strain is produced, which in turn is used in the production of certified seed in the following season. Thus, the farmer is

able to obtain certified seed of released and notified variety one year in advance. Also, the seed of such variety reaches

many farmers even before its release through mini kit‐trials. Many other farmers would also obtain the seed from

these farmers and thus need not to wait for next two years.

9. Varieties developed and released

With the concerted efforts of breeders working in State Agricultural Universities, ICAR Institutes and State

Department of Agriculture a large number of varieties of three NFSM crops (rice, wheat and pulses) have been

developed and released. Since in the mission the varieties not older than 10 years are promoted, hence only such

varieties whose age is upto 10 years are being listed crop wise and statewise (Annexure:IV). Also, several varieties

have been recommended for more than one state, hence the total number of recommended varieties would be more

than the actual number of released and recommended varieties. Thus from 1999 to 2009, 220 varieties of rice, 146 of

4

wheat and 290 of pulses ( 71 of chickpea, 19 of pigeonpea, 56 of mungbean, 39 of urdbean, 19 of lentil, 36 of fieldpea

and 50 of minor pulses which include cowpea, mothbean, horsegram, Lathyrus and rajma) have been recommended

for NFSM states.

10. Criterion for selection of varieties

For realizing optimum productivity of any crop in any production environment, the choice of an appropriate

variety is extremely essential. The variety to be selected for cultivation must be adapted to the specific agro‐

ecological/production conditions. Improper choice of the variety would result in low productivity, even when adequate

quantities of inputs are applied. It is equally important to use the latest recommended varieties, since all varieties tend

to lose disease resistance on account of evolution of pathotypes/biotypes of the disease. In view of this, in National

Food Security Mission the varieties not older than 10 years of three mission crops (rice, wheat and pulses) are

recommended. When the varieties are most popular among the farmers and are outstanding in one or more

characters, the age relaxation is granted for specific period on case to case basis by Government of India, for awarding

subsidy. Here, the varieties have been grouped into following three categories:

i.) More than 15 years old which are most popular among the farmers

ii.) More than 10 years and equal or less than 15 years old

iii.) The varieties upto 10 years old

The age of the varieties has been reckoned from the year of release to 2009.

11. Wheat

Wheat is the second most important food crop of India and accounts for nearly one third of the total food grain

production. It is grown on around 22% of the total area under food grain crops and during

rabi season it covers about 55 % of the total cultivated area and contributes more than 75 %

of food grain production. Since 1967 the area under wheat has increased rapidly from 12.84

to 28.17 million hectares (2006‐07) and production has increased from 11.39 to 73.2 million

tonnes during the same period. Due to improved varieties under cultivation the

productivity has increased from 887 to 2617 kg/ha.

There are two types of wheat viz., bread and Durum. The bread wheat accounts for more than 90 % of the wheat crop

grown, while rest is contributed by macaroni or durum wheat. The former is grown in almost all regions, while durum in

central and peninsular India. Bread wheat is suitable for Chapatti, while durum wheat for the preparation of suji or rawa,

halwa and is extensively used in South Indian preparations. The improved varieties of wheat under three groups

recommended for 9 NFSM states in the country are given in Table: 11.1.

12. Rice

Rice production has witnessed major advances during the last four decades due to wide scale adoption of Green

Evolution techniques. The commendable success could be mainly possible due to development of dwarf and fertilizer

responsive high yielding varieties with disease/pest resistance and suitable for different eco‐systems. There is huge

diversity in rice varieties in respect of grain characteristics such as short bold, long bold, long slender, scented and non‐

scented. These high yielding varieties were instrumental in increasing the rice production which almost tripled from 30.4 m

tonnes during 1966 to a record production of 93.1 m tonnes in 2001‐02. The spread of high yielding varieties has doubled

from a meager 37.9 per cent in mid sixties to nearly 80 per cent now. The varieties of different age groups bred and

released for cultivation in NFSM states have been listed in Table: 12.1. This list will help the farmers in selecting the

varieties suiting to their requirement.

13. Rice Hybrids

The yield levels of semi‐ dwarf varieties of Green Revolution era have plateaued.

More and more rice is to be produced on less and less areas and inputs. Rice hybrids have

shown 15‐20 % higher yield potential than inbred rice varieties under farmers’ field

conditions. Also, the hybrids have shown their ability to perform better under adverse

conditions of drought and salinity. Rice is strictly self‐pollinated crop. Therefore, for

developing commercial rice hybrids use of male sterility is essential. Cytoplasmic male

sterility is being widely used in the hybrid seed production. A male sterile line, when grown side with a pollen parent in an

isolated plot, can produce hybrid seed due to cross‐pollination with the adjoining fertile pollen parent. The seed set on

male sterile plant is the hybrid seed which is used for growing the commercial hybrid crop. This technology helped China to

increase its rice production from 140 m tonnes in 1978 to 188 m tonnes in 1990. After China, India is next largest country

for growing rice hybrids. Since 1994, 38 rice hybrids, both under public and private organizations have been developed.

However, among them, KRH2 and PRH 10, the public bred hybrids and PA 6444, a private bred hybrid have become most

popular across the country. The details of these 38 hybrids statewise under National Food Security Mission are given in

14. Chickpea Chickpea is the premier pulse crop in India, covering 7.63 m ha area with annual production of

5.97 m tonnes. It is grown under diverse agro‐climatic conditions in various cropping

systems. Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh,

Karnataka and Gujarat are the major chickpea growing states, sharing together over 95 %

area. Among these states, Andhra Pradesh registered highest productivity of 1596 kg/ha and

Rajasthan the lowest productivity of 443 kg/ha.

With the advent of Green Revolution technologies dominated by the semi‐dwarf and input responsive varieties of

rice and wheat, there was a dramatic shift in major cropping systems in northern India. Most of the chickpea crop has been

replaced by high yielding varieties of wheat that can be sown successfully as late as in January. In these areas, the rice crop

is harvested in the end of November where the old varieties of chickpea do not suit for planting. Now under the All India

Coordinated Chickpea Improvement Project short duration and less photo‐thermo‐insensitive varieties have been

developed. For export purpose, bold seeded kabuli varieties have been developed which have as high yield potential as the

desi varieties. Also, the newly developed varieties possess resistance to deadly diseases like wilt, blight and several kinds of

rots. With these new varieties and matching agro‐ technology, the area and production of chickpea will definitely increase.

Here, the statewise recommended varieties of desi and kabuli varieties of chickpea are listed in Table: 14.1.

15. Pigeonpea

Pigeonpea has the distinction of being the second largest pulse crop after

chickpea in the country due to its diversified application in the farming system. The crop

is being grown on 3.55 m ha area with the production of 2.8 m tonnes. The major

pigeonpea growing states are Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat,

Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh which together contribute about 90 % of the total area

under pigeonpea in the country. In the Central Zone of the country, the medium

duration varieties are cultivated where average productivity is more than the national

productivity. In the northern part of the country the early maturing varieties suiting to pigeonpea‐wheat rotation are

required. In this region, there is good scope for increasing the area under pigeonpea.

Concerted efforts in pigeonpea breeding took place with the organization of All India Coordinated Pigeonpea

Improvement Project. The research strategy on varietal improvement had put emphasis on development of high yielding

varieties with resistance to important diseases, besides development of early maturing varieties which could fit in suitable

cropping system, development of photo‐thermo‐ insensitive varieties which can be grown during non‐traditional seasons

and development of suitable plant type for intercropping systems.

In varietal improvement there has been achieved great success. However, practically no breakthrough could be

made in developing varieties resistant to insect pests like pod borer, pod fly, maruca, etc. which incur colossal loss in yield

and quality of grains annually. However, so far the varieties developed and released in the states where National Food

Security Mission is operating are listed in Table15.1.

16. Mungbean

Mungbean is one of the important pulse crops of India which accounts for 45

per cent of global production. In India, the major mungbean growing states are

Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and

Uttar Pradesh where it is grown during Kharif, Rabi and spring seasons on account of its

short duration and photo‐ insensitivity and dense crop canopy. It assumes special

significance in crop intensification and diversification, conservation of natural resources

and sustainability of production systems. During the last few years the area and

production of this pulse have considerably reduced due to adverse weather conditions.

Most of the varieties of mungbean developed during pre‐Independence era were long duration and susceptible to

yellow mosaic virus disease. With launching of All India Coordinated Pulses Improvement Project systematic efforts for

varietal development, having the objective of short duration, non‐shattering habit and disease resistance, were made. The

Varieties recommended for different NFSM states season wise and situation wise are listed in Table 16.1.

17. Urdbean

Urdbean is the third most important pulse crop of India after chickpea

and pigeonpea, which is grown in various agro‐ecological conditions under

diverse cropping systems. It is grown on about 2.90 m ha area with annual

production of 1.27 m tonnes. It is grown in different seasons, i.e,. Kharif, rabi

and spring. The crop is primarily intercropped with cereals and millets during

rainy season, sole‐cropped on residual moisture in rice fallows and in

spring/summer season as catch crop in between two main crops of Kharif and

rabi seasons.

Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and

Uttar Pradesh are major urdbean growing states. The area and production have shown increasing trends in these states. In

northern states the area increase under this pulse is mainly due to development of short duration, high yielding and YMV

resistant varieties suitable for different cropping systems during Kharif and spring seasons. The increasing trend in area

under this crop in southern states resulted due to development of high yielding and powdery mildew resistant varieties

suitable for cultivation in rabi season in rice fallows. In this bulletin information on recommended varieties of urdbean for

different NFSM states has been given in table: 17.1

18. Lentil

Lentil is the second most important winter pulse crop of India. Being a cool season crop, its production domain is

mostly confined to northern and central India. It is a highly versatile crop having low risk of insect pests compared to

chickpea. There are two types of lentil i.e., small seeded (Microsperma) types mostly suited for

utera cultivation and also in rice/kharif fallow planting, bold seeded (Macrosperma),

which offers the opportunity for export and internal consumption in the preparation

of dal moth.

Lentil is mainly cultivated in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh,

Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal which together contribute about 85 % of area and 90 % of

production of lentil. In the last two decades, the area under lentil has increased by 57 per cent, production by 168 per cent

and productivity by 71 per cent. The increase in area has been mainly in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and

Bihar, whereas in West Bengal, Punjab, Haryana and Maharashtra the area has shown declining trend.

The increase in productivity has been achieved mainly through development of improved varieties. However, a

considerable area under lentil is still covered by local varieties which lack stability and succumb to several abiotic and biotic

stresses. These genotypes produce good harvest under normal rainfall, but fail to maintain their productivity in deficit rain

situation and sudden rise in temperature at terminal stage.

In recent years under All India Coordinated Pulses Improvement Project, a large number of varieties having high

yield potential and resistance/tolerance to major diseases like rust and wilt have been developed. Some varieties have

distinct advantage of bold seed. In order to increase high varietal replacement rate the popularization of improved

varieties among the farmers is most important step. The list of improved varieties of lentil recommended for different

NFSM states is given in Table 18.1.

19. Fieldpea

Fieldpea is a cool season legume which is grown for food, feed and vegetable. There are two types of pea grown in

India viz., vegetable type in which grains are very sweet when green and become wrinkled on drying, and grain type where

grains are generally white and round. The green seeds of grain type are not so sweet as vegetable type. The dry grains are

consumed in various forms such as chat, chhola, dal, vegetable and flour and the green seeds are used as fresh, frozen or

canned vegetable.

The major fieldpea growing states are Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Assam and Orissa which together

share as much as 95 % of the total area and production in the country. Among these sates Uttar Pradesh ranks first,

contributing 61.6 % in the area and 79.7 % in the production and is followed by Madhya Pradesh. During the last three

decades the total area under this pulse is almost static, but there is 50 % increase in its production. This is primarily due to

increase in productivity, which has almost doubled during this period. In past few years, there has been gradual increase in

area in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Orissa and Assam due to development of powdery mildew

resistant and dwarf varieties. Such varieties have been very recently developed under the All India Coordinated Pulses

Improvement Project. The spread of these varieties in northern and central states will definitely push its production. The

list of varieties recommended to NFSM states is given in Table19.1

20. Minor Pulses

There are few pulses which have local importance in crop production. These are:

1. Cowpea: It is grown for grains, vegetable and fodder. The grain types are short duration

and mostly determinate. They have a wide range in terms of grain colour. They are

80

grown both as sole and intercrop. The major cowpea growing states are Rajasthan, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.

2. Mothbean: This is highly drought and high temperature tolerant pulse crop grown mainly as intercrop with Kharif

cereals and millets. The major mothbean growing state is Rajasthan, followed by Gujarat and Haryana. The major

use of this pulse is as dal and in the preparation of dalmoth, bhujia and papad.

3. Horse Gram: This is also a very hardy pulse crop grown for grains. The major horse

gram growing state is Karnataka. The other states where it is grown are Orissa,

Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand.

4. Lathyrus: This is also very hardy pulse crop, grown mainly as paira or utera crop in

Chhattisgarh, Bihar and West Bengal. The local varieties possess neurotoxin which is

responsible for crippling disease in human being due to continuous consumption. This

is the reason that its marketing has been banned in many states. Now some low

neurotoxin content varieties have been developed which are quite safe for

consumption.

5. Rajma: This is a prized pulse which is used to be grown only in Jammu and Kashmir,

Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Now with the development of improved varieties

it is grown during winter season in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa and Maharashtra.

For enabling the farmers to choose the varieties for matching their

requirement, the list of the improved varieties of these minor pulses has been given in

Table 20.1.
