Description
India is among the leading countries in grain legume production and is also a well recognized centre for mutation research on cultivated plants. Mutation induction experiments on various grain legume species have been carried out at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute for a number of years, all aimed at improving the germplasm available for the development of better varieties. As a result, a number of high yielding and disease resistant induced mutant varieties in chick-pea - Pusa-408 (Ajay), Pusa-413 (Atul) and Pusa-417 (Girnar); in pea - L-116 (Hans); and in cowpea - V-16 (Amba), V-38 (Swarna) and V-240, have been developed, identified and released for cultivation by farmers in India.
