Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding
The department was established in 1960 with the aim to impart teaching research and extension in plant breeding. The department played a pivotal role in ushering a green revolution in India by developing landmark varieties in wheat, rice, maize and soybean in collaboration with the International institutes like CIMMYT,IRRI, Ford & Rockfeller foundations during the early years. Till the year 2007, 208 varieties have been developed and commercially released in various agri-horticultural crops. The massive seed production programme made the “Pantnagar Seeds” the most popular commodity among farmers nationally and internationally.
