Abstract
A high yielding redgram culture CRG 10-01 was a cross derivative of APK 1x LRG 41 and matures in 170 to 180 days. The culture recorded an average grain yield of 1600 kg/ha under rainfed condition and 1800 kg/ha under irrigated condition with a yield increase of 19 percent over CO 6 and 22 percent over VBN 2. Drought tolerant CO 8 variety shown resistance to Sterility Mosaic Disease, root rot and moderately resistant to pod borer complex. This culture CRG 10-01 is released as CO 8 redgram for general cultivation in Tamil Nadu during 2017.
