“High Yielder, Mid Early, Awnless and resistant to bacterial blight, blast and BPH rice variety of Basmati type “Azad Basmati(CSAR 839-3)” for traditional and non- traditional Basmati growing areas developed by Rice Breeder Dr. Vijay Kumar Yadav , Ram Krishna & others of this University . Azad Basmati” is really wonderful variety of basmati rice which gave 23.6 % higher yield to National Check variety Pusa Basmati -1 on over all mean basis of the Regional Agricultural training and Demonstration station of Uttar Pradesh. On the zonal basis, it gave 41.31 %, 27.24%, 18.36 higher yields at Central Zone, Eastern Zone, and western Zone, Respectively.

“Azad Basmati” is suitable for irrigated and transplanting condition and give an average yield of 39.32 q/ha .

“Azad Basmati” is a semi dwarf ( 95- 102 cm), Five days early in maturity to Pusa Basmati-1 and 15to 25 days early to other Basmati Varieties.

“Azad Basmati” is resembles to Pusa Basmati but it is awnless, bacterial blight and blast resistant in field conditions and significantly high yielder. The Character Awnless will be useful for breeder seed production programme and monitoring activities.

“Azad Basmati” has long slender white grain type, 78.5 % hulling,67 % milling, 50.8 % HRR, 7.0 mm grain length,1.77 mm grain breadth,3.8 L/B ratio, 6.1 Alkali value and 22.8 % amylase content. It is superior in quality also to other basmati varieties cultivated in U.P.

“Azad Basmati (CSAR 839-3)” has shown yield potential 40-60q/ha.

A terminal heat tolerant variety of wheat developed by Wheat breeder Dr. L.P. Tiwari and others of C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. It has tolerance up to 360C with yield potential of 40-45 quintal / ha. It is matured in 90-110 days. The Grain colour of this variety is golden bright, 12 to 12.5 % protein and very good for Chapati making. It is found suitable for central and western part of U.P.

A variety of yellow Sarson 'PITAMBRI' has been developed and got identified for release by Oilseed Section of Chandra Shekher Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur,

Kanpur AICRP (R&M) project has developed about one dozen variety in Toria and Rai for various conditions as per demand of farmers but yellow sarson variety could not be made available to the farmers for last about 50 years. "Pitambri" is only variety of yellow sarson which has been identified during XVI All India Coordinator 'Rapeseed-Mustard' annual group meeting of scientists working on this crop throughout the country held at Nagpur from August 6-8',2009.

PItambri has given about 20-30% higher yield than National cheek varieties in the yield trials.

It matures in 110-115 days, gives 18-20 q/ha yield and 42.8% oil (600kg/ha oil).The proper sowing time is first fort night of September. The Scientists responsible for development of 'Pitambri' are Prof. Ranjeet, Mahak Singh, Dr. R.K.Dixit, Dr. Lalta Prasad and Dr. SBL Srivastava.
