Germplasm Identification Is An Improved Technique To Boost Agri Tea Productivity

At the backdrop of Agricultural Research Services, senior key scientist of the USDA/ARS named as Borthakur from Assam ascertains that improved agri technique germplasm identification can provide positive results in varied tea plant breeding.


Presently, Borthakur will implement his experience working in US to handle Indian agri projects related to germplasm identification. Perfect determination and rationalization of the germplasm collection helps detect pest tolerance, drought, fungal diseases, quality and cold tolerance. At numerous centers under Tea Research Association such germplasm technique will be utilized by Borthakur.



Currently there are about 3,065 germplasm which are maintained at an institution under Tea Research Association. Based on the genuine information of the germplasm collection even hybridisation and selection could be initiated as per to Borthakur’s perception.
