BARANI AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE

CHAKWAL

INTRODUCTION

Barani Agricultural Research Institute, Chakwal is entrusted with the task for the

evolution of varieties of different crops possessing desirable agronomic traits, drought tolerance

with high yield potential and development of crop production technology best suited for the

barani tract. Crop management in the barani tract almost entirely depends upon natural

precipitation. Punjab Barani tract consists of 3.10 million hectares, having different ecological

zones with varied soil type and rainfall pattern.

BARI, Chakwal is a multi-disciplinary institute, having different disciplines viz. Crop

Breeding, Agronomy, Soil Science, Plant Protection, Horticulture, Economics & Statistics and

Agricultural Engineering to carry out research work in the respective field. In addition, at present

five research stations namely; Barani Agricultural Research Station - Fatehjang, Groundnut

Research Station - Attock, Gram Breeding Research Sub-Station - Attock, Cotton Research Sub-

Station - Piplan and Horticultural Research Station, Soan Valley, Nowshera, are working under

the administrative and technical control of this Institute. The Institute is conducting research on

almost all the major Rabi crops of barani area viz. Wheat, Chickpea, Rapeseed and Mustard,

Fodder Crops, Vegetables and Fruits etc. The main objectives of the Institute are:

Collection, maintenance and evaluation of germplasm of different crops for utilization in

hybridization program

Development of high yielding, drought tolerant and disease resistant crop varieties of cereals,

food legumes, oilseeds, fodders, fruits and vegetables

Standardization of appropriate production technologies for field and fruit crops

Production of breeder’s seed and propagation of true to type fruit plants

DURATION 2015-16

LOCATION Barani Agricultural Research Institute, Chakwal.

TREATMENTS/ Total entries = 160

METHODOLOGY

One row (5m long) of each line/strain will be sown during October

2015. Morphological characters e.g. growth habit, days to heading,

days to maturity, plant height, disease resistance etc. will be

studied.

various sources and sown at Barani Agricultural Research Institute.

The data regarding yield and yield components were recorded and

the range of these characters is given below.

Sr. No. Characters studied Range

1- Days to heading (No.) 121– 146

2- Plant height (cm) 76 – 128

According to the data collected the average price of yield on per plant basis ranges from Rs.

Owing to the high temperature factor ripening phenomenon is approximately two weeks earlier

at Sillanwali and the same trend is observed for ripening phase at Soon Valley and Attock.

Earlier ripening edge enables the farmer to fetch more price in the market because peach is the

best gap filler among citrus and mango in the Punjab area.
