HD 3090 (Pusa Amulya) - A new rust resistant, high yielding wheat variety for late sown irrigated conditions of Peninsular Zone in India

2015

A new bread wheat variety, HD3090 (Pusa Amulya) has been released and notifed by the Central Sub- Committee on Crop Standards, Notifcation and Release of Varieties for Agricultural Crops, Government of India vide S. O. 224 E dated 24th January 2014, for commercial cultivation under late sown irrigated conditions of Peninsular Zone (PZ) of the country. HD 3090, a semi-dwarf (80 cm), rust resistant and early maturing (101 days) wheat variety has average yield of 4.21 t/ha with yield potential of 6.31 t/ha under late sown irrigated conditions and showed superiority over checks (HD2932, Raj4083 and NIAW34). HD3090 being resistant to leaf and stem rust would help in disease management by minimizing the incidence of rust diseases. High protein content (13.3%), high (79.4 kg/hl) hectolitre weight and good grain appearance of this wheat would have better farmer acceptance. This being an early maturing,rust resistant varieties has promise for late sown irrigated planting areas under various cropping systems in the peninsular zone and thus will contribute to increasing wheat production and contribute in alleviating the socio-economic status of farmers in this region.
