Research activity - Wheat Research Station,Bardoli

Crop Improvement:

Strengthening of genetic resources, which include collection, evaluation and maintenance of germplasm for making use in breeding programme.

Testing of newly developed genotypes under various categories of trials such as PET, SST, LST and AVT in timely and late sowing conditions.

Seed multiplication of different varieties on large scale to cater the need of farmers and various seed producing agencies.

Dissemination of the newly developed varieties and technologies through demonstrations.

Screening of high temperature tolerance culture of Wheat crop for South Gujart

Resource Management:

Dissemination of the newly developed varieties and technologies through demonstrations.

To test the response of genotypes to limited irrigations in Wheat

Contribution in release of Varieties :

Bardoli is the testing center for wheat and paddy crops. This station has contributed in released of following wheat varieties from Vijapur (Main wheat Res. Stn.) and Nawagam (Main Paddy Res. Stn.) during the last three, 5 year plan.
