Development of Gynoediocious papaya variety ( BU papaya 1) High demand in field The varieties were released for allover the country
Identified eight male sterile, eight maintainer and four restorer lines from local aromatic rice germplasm against WA type CMS system of rice. Used in hybrid variety development program  
Developed seven male sterile lines (A-lines) of local Boro rice varieties utilizing different CMS systems which can be used directly in hybrid variety development of Boro rice locally. Used in hybrid variety development program  
Development of aromatic zn rich hybrid variety( BU aromatic hybrid dhan 1) High demand in field The varieties were released for allover the country
Utilization  self-incompatibility (SI) systems in hybrid variety development of vegetable crops    
Bio chemical & Molecular characterizations of radish genotypes DNA isolation of radish for RAPD analysis.  
Development of fine rice variety ( BU dhan 2)   The varieties were released for allover the country
Screening of sixty  local aromatic rice germplasm for Zinc and Iron content. Used in Zinc and Iron rich hybrid variety development program  

 

  1. Technology transfer activities
  • Actively Involve in seed production of  BU papaya 1, BU Aromatic Hybrid Dhan 1 and BU Dhan 2
  • Actively involve in the diversified research activities related to crop improvement of cereal, grain legumes and vegetable crops.
  • Involved in seed production to popularize BARI developed maize varieties throughout the country.
  • Involved in Maize whole family training to the extension workers and farmers on hybrid maize cultivation and seed production collaboration with BARI, CIMMYT-Bangladesh and BADC.

 

  • Delivered lectures and presented papers on maize technologies as a `Resource speaker’ in different training, field days, farmers rally and workshops and organized several training programs for farmers, Block Supervisors, GO and NGO personnel to transfer maize technologies.
