Patent / Technologies / Varieties / Methodologies / System etc. (Five only):
  1. Standardized seed testing protocol for moringa seed: use of between paper (BP) at 25°C or alternate temperature 20°~30°C with the first count on 12th day and final count on 17th day.
  2. Standardize Seed coating in chilli: carbendazim @ 2g/kg + imidachloprid @ 2 ml/kg seed + micronutrient mixture @ 20 g/kg seed gave maximum germination and vigour indices in chilli cv. Kashi Anmol.
  3. Standardized seed drying and storage method using zeolite beads for pumpkin, radish, ash gourd and cowpea: use of zeolite beads @ 1:3 (seed:beads)
  4. Standardization of date of sowing and number of cutting in seed production of palak’ recommended that sowing of palak cv. All Green during October with one cutting gave higher seed yield along with highest seed quality.
  5. Standardized seed viability and vigour enhancement in aged (less viable) seeds of brinjal through seed priming: seed priming with K2HPO4 (0.01M) or GA3 (100ppm) for 24h improved germination and vigour of less viable brinjal cv. Kashi Taru
