Swarna Gaurav: High Yielding Nutritionally Rich Faba Bean Variety
Abstract
Swarna Gaurav” a faba bean variety recently developed by ICAR Research complex for Eastern Region Patna and has been recommended by Bihar State Varietal Release Committee (SVRC) for released its cultivation in the Bihar state. Developed variety i.e. “Swarna Gaurav” was nutritionally superior over existing cultivar and national check as well as containing very less amount of anti-nutritional factor like tannin and phytate; a major hurdle in the cultivation of such an excellent crop.
