Associated in Mungbean Breeding Programme and contributed as a Team Member for the development of two high-yielding mungbean varieties viz., IPM 312-20 (Vasudha) and IPM 409-4 (Heera) for spring season cultivation in Uttar Pradesh.
Identified two resistant donors such as IC340947 and IC360831 against Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV) disease in Common bean.
Identified promising cold tolerant genotypes based on morpho-physiological traits viz., EC150250, IC360831, and IC340947, EC500407, IC340910 and EC564797.
A total of 1800 Common bean germplasm accessions including Biofortified lines procured from National (NBPGR, Regional station, Shimla and Bhowali) and International (CGIAR- CAIT, Palmira – Colombia) organizations..
A total of 800 germplasm accessions common bean characterized for both qualitative and quantitative traits and identified traits specific germplasm accessions for breeding programme
