Research Schemes in
Operation
C(a) PP-2 Plan (Ag.)
Studies on economically
important plant diseases and mushroom production
technology
Objectives:
i)
Identification and characterization of fungal,
bacterial and viral diseases.
ii) Epidemiology and assessment of losses
iii)
Management of crop diseases through cultural,
chemical, biological and host resistance
iv) Development and popularization of mushroom
production technology
C(a)PP-1 Plan (Ag.)
Promotion
of mushroom cultivation as an entrepreneurial
activity in Haryana.
i)
To
prepare commercial mushroom spawn and pasteurized
compost for mushroom growers.
ii) To
collect and culture the naturally occurring
Ganoderma spp. to conserve the natural
bio-resource of this mushroom.
iii) To
standardize the cultivation technology of
Ganoderma lucidum
ICAR
Scheme: C (b) PP-17 ICAR
All
India Coordinated Research Project on Mushroom
Objectives:
i) Survey,
collection and identification of fleshy fungi in the
area of respective coordinating centre for
exploitation and cultivation of new species/strains
suited to different regions.
ii) Regional adaptability trials for growing the
promising strains/ species of different edible fungi
iii) Selection of cheap and locally available
agro/industrial wastes for composting,
supplementation of substrate and casing.
iv) Standardization of cultivation techniques for
optimization of yield of different mushrooms.
v) Survey and surveillance of diseases and pests of
mushrooms during different seasons in various
regions.
vi) Transfer of proven technology to mushroom
growers and to impart training on mushroom
cultivation.
Salient Achievements of the research work
i)Regression equations have been developed for the
prediction of some of the economically important
plant diseases.
ii)Yield
loss prediction equations have been developed for
few diseases.
iii)Detection and diagnosis of economically important
fungal, bacterial and viral diseases in Haryana.
iv)Resistant sources identified for major diseases.
v)Studies
conducted on ecofriendly management of plant
diseases using plant extract and the bioagents.
vi)Developed low cost technology to grow mushroom using
various agricultural wastes and eco-friendly methods
of compost sterilization.
vii)Training is being imparted to mushroom growers
regularly.
viii)Commercial spawn and pasteurized compost have been
made available to the mushroom growers.
ix)The technology for seasonal cultivation of edible
mushroom viz., button, oyster and milky mushroom has
been standardized
