Pusa Vivek QPM9 Improved
| Division of Genetics, ICAR-IARI, New Delhi | |
| 2017 | |
| Northern Hill Zone [J&K, HP, Uttarakhand (Hills), North Eastern states] and Peninsular Zone [Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu] | |
| It is an improved version of Vivek QPM9, developed through marker-assisted introgression of crtRB1 allele. It is improved for provitamin-A (8.15 ppm), compared to 2.26 ppm in Vivek QPM9. It is country s first provitamin-A rich maize hybrid. Due to presence of opaque2, it also contains high tryptophan (0.74%) and lysine (2.67%) in protein, and thus is a multi-nutrient maize hybrid. It is an early maturing hybrid, and attains 75% dry husk at 93 days (NHZ) and 83 days (PZ) after sowing. |
