Research Strategy for the Development of Consumer Choice ‘Hybrid’ & OP Vegetable
Variety in Relation to Research Cost
Presented by Dr. S. C. Biswas
ActivitiesA. Variety Screening (Cucumber, Radish,
Cauliflower, Cabbage, Tomato, Knol khol, Hot pepper, Sunflower, Forage etc.)
B. Variety Development (Bottle gourd, Pumpkin, Ridge gourd, Ash gourd etc.)
C. Generation of New Technologies (Veg. cultivation in protected environment, Seed production techniques in cauliflower & broccoli, pickles from Elephant Foot Yam)
Research Strategy Setting
A.Through critical observation in the commercial growing areas
B. By making survey in the fresh vegetable market
C. In compliance with Govt. policy
