Developed Two high yielding long duration pigeonpea varieties namely IPA 206 and IPA 15-2 (Sharada) for cultivation in Uttar Pradesh state and North East Plain zone, India respectively.
Co-developed two high yielding early maturing pigeonpea hybrids namely IPH 15-03 and IPH 09-5 for cultivation in North Western Plain Zone, India.
Developed a total of Nine trait specific pigeonpea donors namely five donors [DPPA 85-1, DPPA 85-7 (NBPGR ID: IC0620568), DPPA 85-8 (NBPGR ID: IC0620566), DPPA 85-12 (NBPGR ID: IC0620567) and DPPA 85-13] for Fusarium wilt race-2 resistance; three donors (IPAB 7-2-1-7, KPBR 80-2-1 and IPAC 3) for Phytophthora blight resistance; IPAC 79 (INGR20023) for water-logging tolerant and IPAV 16-1 (INGR 20025) for extra large seed size (23.00 g/100 dry seed).
Contributed a total of 26 entries in IVT AICRP (14) and U.P. state adoptive trial (12) on pigeonpea..
Maintaining about 1300 working collection of pigeonpea genotypes and around 100 wild accessions

Genetic enhancement, trait identification, varietal development and CGMS hybrid technology in pigeonpea.
