Improving quality of crop, increasing productivity and preserving loss of biodiversity is crucial for meeting demands of increasing population.This necessitated need for research institutes to release suitable plant varieties so as to enhance production, tolerance to insect, pests and. National Innovation Foundation-India has been forefront in recognizing and popularizing several of farmer developed varieties. Shri Prakash Singh Raghuvanshi is one among the progressive farmer who has been continuously practising successive selection method and developing new varieties of crops like paddy, wheat, pigeon pea and mustard. These varieties are popularly named as “Kudrat”. NIF-India has supported scientific validation and dissemination of these varieties at farmers’ field of Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Orissa and researchers have come up with data revealing higher yield, bolder grain size, resistant to biotic stresses, etc. therefore, these varieties are widely accepted and appreciated by the growers.References
