Assam Agricultural University develops new high-yield mustard greens and chilli varieties
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Guwahati: In a significant breakthrough in Assam’s agricultural sphere, the researchers at Assam Agricultural University in Jorhat have developed three new varieties of vegetables — two types of mustard greens (lai xaak) and a chilli variant.

The new varieties — Kajali and Laika (mustard greens) and Prabali (chilli) — offer high yields and shorter production cycles.

“These varieties will aid our farmers with increase in production and shorter crop cycle; thereby boosting their income,” said Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

With the development of three new varieties of crops, Assam Agricultural University has set a new milestone in innovation and sustainability.

Kajali is characterized by its unique black colour, whereas Laika exhibits a conventional green shade and is expected to have a taste similar to traditional lai xaak. Both varieties mature and produce crops within a span of 85 to 90 days, yielding a remarkable output of 400 to 450 quintals per hectare.

The Prabali chilli, projected to yield a substantial 120 to 130 quintals per hectare, is distinguished by its exceptionally intense fiery flavour, making it a preferred choice for those who appreciate spicy cuisine.

These new varieties have been developed to optimize agricultural output and provide superior nutritional content.

This groundbreaking innovation is poised to transform Assam’s agricultural landscape, positively impacting both farmers and consumers.

With increasing demand for mustard greens, farmers are poised to gain commercially by cultivating these innovative varieties.
