It is to the credit of
SDAU that the Gujarat
State stands:
• First in the productivity of Castor,
Mustard, Cotton, Potato and Cumin.
• Second in the productivity of Bajra
• Third in the productivity of Guar and
Gram.
 Versatile Research to solve
nagging field problems
• Castor Hybrid GCH-7:
• Solved insurmountable
Wilt Nematode Complex
problem threatening
cultivation of castor in
Gujarat
• Cumin GC-4:
• Solution to the the Wilt
menace in Cumin that had
made the cultivation of
cumin in the same field
impossible:
 The Technologies of the
University have been accepted
beyond state
• Wheat varieties developed
by SDAU has adoptability in
Rajasthan , MP and
Chattisgarh.
Immense tolerance to
adversities like early & late
heat tolerance
• State release GWH 496
among the first top ten
varieties of the country
• GW 322 was the first variety
to be released for two zones
viz. central & peninsular zone
 The research is done in
consonance to industrial
requirements
• MUSTARD GM 3 : A bold
seeded and early maturing
variety to satiate demand of
both farmers and industry
• GUAR GG-2 : High gum content
variety required by Gum
Industry

• CUMIN GC-4 : Non-splitting

seed with high oil contents to
suit spices industrial demand
