FOREWORD
Improved varieties play pivotal role in enhancing productivity of any crop. Improved variety
alone can add 2025 % to increased productivity, even if other components of production remain the
same. Improved varieties/hybrids of cereals and millets helped in ushering the green revolution.
Through National Food Security Mission enhancement in the production of rice, wheat and pulses is
aimd at on sustainable basis. In this mission improved varieties are involved in several interventions
suchasdemonstrations,seeddistribution,minikittrial,etc.Theimprovedvarietiesofthesecropswill
help in enhancing production by creating awareness among the farmers through these interventions.
Fortunately,exceptingpigeonpea,allthecropsareselfpollinatedhencethemaintenanceofthegenetic

useful to seed producing, seed certification and seed marketing agencies in the country, besides the
farmerswhowillhavethechoiceforselectingvarietiesaccordingtotheirneed.TheeffortsmadebyDr
Shanker Lal, National Consultant (seeds), NFSM in compilation of improved varieties of three NFSM
crops are quite praiseworthy. This bulletin will be quite useful to the farmers, agriculture extension

andmillets.
The National Food Security Mission launched by GOI in 17 states in the country aims at
increasing production of food grains through three major crops viz., rice, wheat and pulses (chickpea,
pigeonpea, urdbean, mungbean, lentil and fieldpea and minor pulses like mothbean, horsegram,
cowpea,lathyrusandrajmawhichareoflocalimportance).Unlessthefarmersareawareofimproved
varieties of these crops, the demand for seeds cannot be generated and consequently the seed
producingagenciescannotplantheirseedproductionandmarketingprogrammes.Thiswillslowdown
the varietal replacement rate and the old low yielding varieties will continue in the cultivation.
Therefore,itwasfeltnecessarytopreparethelistofrecentlyreleasedvarieties/hybridsofthesethree

Introduction
Foodgrainsarecomprisedofrice,wheat,pulsesandmillets,ofwhichformerthreehavebeenincludedinNational
FoodSecurityMissionlaunchedbyGOI.
ThefoodgrainproductioninIndiahasincreasedfrom82.08milliontonnesfrom115.58millionhectaresofarea
during 196061 to 211.78 million tonnes from 124.07 million hectares during 200607 (Annexure: I).This exhibits 158
percentincreaseduringaperiodof46years.Asaresult,thenationbecamealmostselfsufficientinfoodgrains.Butthe
population in the country is growing at an alarming rate of around 2.5% per year. This necessitates that the food grain
productionshouldalsoincreaseatleastatthesamerateorevenatafasterrateinordertoimprovethenutritionstatusof
themasses.
The impressive increase in food grain production (Annexure: I) has resulted, in addition to other components,
primarily due to improved crop varieties, capable of exploiting the environment so provided. Better environment alone
cannotleadtobetteryieldsfromgeneticallyinferiorvarieties,beyondacertainlimit.Similarly,improvingtheenvironment
beyondacertainlimitforanyvarietymayalsoadverselyaffectitsperformance.Forexample,thetallvarietiesofwheat
respond to nitrogen application upto 60 kg/ha, but higher doses used to reduce the yield, mainly due to lodging. Now
improved varieties of dwarf wheat have been tailored which give increased yield upto, even beyond 120 kg N/ha
application.Thepresentdayimprovedvarietiesofrice,wheatandpulsespossessallorcombinationsofmajorcharacters
whichenablethefarmersforwiderchoice.

Definitionofthevariety
ItisastrainreleasedbyCentral/StateVarietyReleaseCommitteeforcommercialcultivationbythefarmers.Itis
a synonym of strain, cultivar, race and genotype. However, the term variety is most commonly used by the farmers,
agricultureworkersandseedsmen.
3.Varietydevelopment

4. Identificationofentriesforrelease
Theoutstandingentriesareidentifiedforreleaseasnewvarietiesintheannualworkshopsofthecoordinatedprojects.
TheproposalsforidentificationareexaminedbytheVarietyIdentificationCommittee.
The proposal for identification is prepared on the prescribed proforma by the breeders who have developed the
variety. Such proposals include the performance of the entry in URT for at least two years, the data from pathologists,
entomologists,qualitytests,etcandthosefromagronomytrialsareconsidered.Theentryconsideredsuitableforrelease
as a variety by the workshop is said to have been identified for prerelease multiplication or simply as identified. The
criterionforidentificationofavarietyvariesfromcroptocrop.However,itshouldbesuperiortoexistingbestvarietyand

4.2 Release of the variety by State Variety Release Committee: In addition to the Central SubCommittee on Crop
Standards and Release of Varieties, each state has its own variety release committee (SVRC). However, the SVRC

5.
Notificationofthevarieties
AfterthevarietyhasbeenreleasedbytheCentral/StateVarietyReleaseCommitteetheDepartmentofAgriculture
and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, GOI notifies it before its seed can be certified. Only those varieties are
notified which have been identified for prerelease multiplication by the workshop of concern crop coordinated
project. However, SVRC may release a variety, which has not been identified by the workshop of concern crop
coordinated project or even such strains which were not evaluated under the project, but such varieties cannot be
notifiedandalsotheseedofsuchvarietiescannotbecertified.
6.
Denotificationofthevarieties

9.
Varietiesdevelopedandreleased
With the concerted efforts of breeders working in State Agricultural Universities, ICAR Institutes and State
Department of Agriculture a large number of varieties of three NFSM crops (rice, wheat and pulses) have been
developed and released. Since in the mission the varieties not older than 10 years are promoted, hence only such
varieties whose age is upto 10 years are being listed crop wise and statewise (Annexure:IV). Also, several varieties
havebeenrecommendedformorethanonestate,hencethetotalnumberofrecommendedvarietieswouldbemore
thantheactualnumberofreleasedandrecommendedvarieties.Thusfrom1999to2009,220varietiesofrice,146of

and50ofminorpulseswhichincludecowpea,mothbean,horsegram,Lathyrusandrajma)havebeenrecommended
forNFSMstates.
10. Criterionforselectionofvarieties
For realizing optimum productivity of any crop in any production environment, the choice of an appropriate
variety is extremely essential. The variety to be selected for cultivation must be adapted to the specific agro
ecological/productionconditions.Improperchoiceofthevarietywouldresultinlowproductivity,evenwhenadequate
quantitiesofinputsareapplied.Itisequallyimportanttousethelatestrecommendedvarieties,sinceallvarietiestend
tolosediseaseresistanceonaccountofevolutionofpathotypes/biotypesofthedisease.Inviewofthis,inNational
Food Security Mission the varieties not older than 10 years of three mission crops (rice, wheat and pulses) are
recommended. When the varieties are most popular among the farmers and are outstanding in one or more
characters,theagerelaxationisgrantedforspecificperiodoncasetocasebasisbyGovernmentofIndia,forawarding

12.Rice
Rice production has witnessed major advances during the last four decades due to wide scale adoption of Green
Evolution techniques. The commendable success could be mainly possible due to development of dwarf and fertilizer
responsive high yielding varieties with disease/pest resistance and suitable for different ecosystems. There is huge
diversity in rice varieties in respect of grain characteristics such as short bold, long bold, long slender, scented and non
scented.Thesehighyieldingvarietieswereinstrumentalinincreasingthericeproductionwhichalmosttripledfrom30.4m
tonnesduring1966toarecordproductionof93.1mtonnesin200102.Thespreadofhighyieldingvarietieshasdoubled
from a meager 37.9 per cent in mid sixties to nearly 80 per cent now. The varieties of different age groups bred and
released for cultivation in NFSM states have been listed in Table: 12.1. This list will help the farmers in selecting the
varietiessuitingtotheirrequirement.

Moreandmorericeistobeproducedonlessandlessareasandinputs.Ricehybridshave
shown 1520 % higher yield potential than inbred rice varieties under farmers field
conditions. Also, the hybrids have shown their ability to perform better under adverse
conditions of drought and salinity. Rice is strictly selfpollinated crop. Therefore, for
developing commercial rice hybrids use of male sterility is essential. Cytoplasmic male
sterilityisbeingwidelyusedinthehybridseedproduction.Amalesterileline,whengrownsidewithapollenparentinan
isolated plot,can produce hybrid seeddue to crosspollination with the adjoining fertile pollen parent. The seed set on

increaseitsriceproductionfrom140mtonnesin1978to188mtonnesin1990.AfterChina,Indiaisnextlargestcountry

3.
Horse Gram: This is also a very hardy pulse crop grown for grains. The major horse
gram growing state is Karnataka. The other states where it is grown are Orissa,
Jharkhand,ChhattisgarhandUttarakhand.
4.
Lathyrus: This is also very hardy pulse crop, grown mainly as paira or utera crop in
Chhattisgarh, Bihar and West Bengal. The local varieties possess neurotoxin which is
responsibleforcripplingdiseaseinhumanbeingduetocontinuousconsumption.This
is the reason that its marketing has been banned in many states. Now some low
neurotoxin content varieties have been developed which are quite safe for
consumption.
5.
Rajma: This is a prized pulse which is used to be grown only in Jammu and Kashmir,
HimachalPradeshandUttarakhand.Nowwiththedevelopmentofimprovedvarieties
