24-26 August 2019. Indore, India. The ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, Karnal and IARI Regional Station, Indore organized the 58th All India Wheat and Barley Research Workers' Meet |
| At the Indian Research Institute of Soybean Research in Indore Dr @rajvarshney gives an overview of translational genomics and how these tools can assist the development of better varieties for farmers in Asia and Africa |
The Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research through All India Coordinated Research Project on Wheat and Barley (AICRP) is coordinating multidisciplinary and multilocational testing of varietal, newly developed improved genotypes, crop management and crop protection technologies across the diverse ecosystems for increasing and stabilizing the wheat production.
As a nodal agency for wheat research, ICAR-IIWBR facilitates planning, exchange of experimental material, monitoring the field trials / nurseries, data compilation and documentation. Presently, there are 29 funded centres and more than 100 voluntry centres that are carrying out the planned activities of different production conditions of the five agro-ecological zones.
