Abstract

Mutation breading research in redgram (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) has resulted in the development of a high yielding mutant S. 18 (Co. 3), suitable for cultivation under rainfed and irrigated conditions. Its duration is 130 days. On an average, it records 13 quintals and 12 quintals per hectare under irrigated and rainfed sowings which works out the per day production to 9.8 kg/ha and 9.1 kg/ha respectively. It is most suitable for dryland culture during June-July and also for irrigated cultivation during February. A special advantage of Co. 3 is its resistance to root rot and tolerance to wilt and pod borers.
