Development of nutrient rich high yielding barley variety grown under rainfed drought stress conditions
Funded by: IRT, HSTU, Dinajpur

Position: Co-PI

Description: To evaluate barley germplasms for nutrient, yield and yield-related traits grown grown under drought stress conditions in HSTU campus, study DNA fingerprinting of barley germplasms, genotype-environment interactions for yield and nutritional traits through multiplication trials and develop nutrient rich high yielding barley variety through registration procedure.
