Prominent Research Achievents
- A germplasm repository in tuberose has been established and morphological and biochemical characterization of the germplasm have been done by Dept. of Science & Technology, Govt. of W.B. project
- A germplasm repository on turf grasses is established and is presently under studies
- More than 200 F1s have been developed by crossing in tuberose cultivars which are under evaluations
- Two variants have been developed by mutation breeding in tuberose
- The drying techniques have standardized in more than 100 species of flowers and foliages through press, hot air oven, microwave oven, vacuum, glycerine and lyophilizer drying technologies by Dept. of Science & Technology, Govt. of India project
- The in vitro propagation in Gerbera and Calanthe orchid have been standardized
- Marigold being the most important traditional flower of the region, season based production in the line with the local climate vs Cultivars, has been documented for further recommendation.
- Micronutrients doses has been standardized for better post harvest life of marigold in the line of retention of colorvs freshness.
- There have been successful research studies,to promote soil health by use of different organic sources and bio-stimulant in cultivation of tuberose, marigold etc.
- The Department has standardized integrated nutrient management scheduling of different flower crops.
- Research activities related to efficient cultivation approach for Rose(HT) and its bending techniques been successfully completed.
- Standardization of cultivation of marigold by the use of indigenous materials (vermicompost,moringa leaf extracts etc.)
