CSAUAT discovers new maize variety; may augment crop yields by 33%

27 Apr 2012 Evaluate

The scientists at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology (CSAUAT) have discovered new variety of maize that will augment crop yields by 33 percent. The new maize variety -- Hybrid Azad Maize 1 -- is developed by Senior Scientist Harishchandra, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding.

The new maize variety will produce 55-60 quintals per hectare and will be ready for harvest in next 3 months. This maize variety will contain 10-12 percent protein and is ideal for use in making chips, sweets and other edible items. Another feature of this variety is that even after maize pod is plucked, its stem and leaves stay green and can be ideal fodder for cattle.

This hybrid variety of maize, which is ideal for use in products made of baby corn, has been approved for commercial cultivation. The variety has been approved for commercial cultivation by the Central Variety Release Committee (CVRC) at the all India agriculture workshop held at Chaudhri Charan Singh Agriculture University in Hisar (Haryana) during April 22-24.

CVRC has recommended this variety for Zone 2 and Zone 3, which includes Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, Bengal and Orissa, among other regions in the country.

Explaining the procedure employed in approval of a seed for commercial cultivation, CSAUAT said that the seed undergoes multi-location trials for several years. CVRC studies the performance of the seed based on the trials over 4-5 years and then approves it.
