To improve crop productivity by utilizing germplasm to develop new varieties with high yield potential and good quality.
APPROACHES
• Collection and Conservation of genetic materials for future utilization
• Improvement of crops for both yield potential and quality
• Development of crops for resistances to major biotic and abiotic stresses
• Maintain purity and quality of released crop varieties
TARGETED PLANTS
Cereal, legume, Vegetable, fruit trees, root crops, and ornamental plants GERMPLAS CONSERVATION
• Collection and Characterization
