Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has introduced the formula of ‘Minus 5 and Plus 10’ and urged to increase the production of pulses and oilseeds. This means that the rice area is reduced by 50 lakh hectares and the production of 100 lakh tonnes in the same area. This will promote the growing of pulses and oilseeds in the remaining area. On Sunday, he said when he dedicated two genetically-thorned rice to the country. These types are described as the first achievement in the country. Both of these types are climately friendly, helping to protect water, and increases the yield.
Two new stories started
On Sunday, two new types of paddy- ‘DRR Paddy 100 (Kamla)’ and ‘Busa DST Rice 1’ were launched. These two stories are created with genetic editing technology. This kind of paddy is described as high yields and low cost for farmers. At the same time, these stories are also helpful in environmental protection. It is estimated that the cultivation of these new varieties will produce 45 lakh tonnes of paddy in about 5 lakh hectares. In addition, the emission of greenhouse gases will be reduced by 20 percent (3,200 tonnes), and the crop will save three irrigation as it is ready for 20 days. In advance, farmers can also sow the next crop.
Continuing work on pulses and oilseeds
ICAR Deputy Director General DK Krishnan said that pulses and oilseed crops are being carried out by genetic editing. In this, a special type of mustard crop is created. ICAR Director General Dr. M.L. According to Jat, the test of the All India Integrated Genetic-Breakdown varieties has been completed. Soon their breeder seeds, basic seeds and certified seeds will be available to the farmers. He added that genetic editing research is being carried out in many crops, including food grains, oilseeds and pulses.
Former IARI Director Dr. A.K. Singh made it clear that these new varieties were created with Crispr-Case with genetic editing technology. Subtle changes are made in the original genes of plants and no external genes are included. Types created by SDN1 and SDN2 are free from the rules of the Government of India, and they are not classified into genetically modified crops.
The gene that corrects future technology
The cultivation of this new type of paddy is estimated to save 750 million cubic meters of irrigation water due to the production of 45 lakh tonnes of paddy, which is 20 per cent in greenhouse gases and is ready 20 days to grow these new varieties. External genes are not used in the gene editing process, but by making accurate changes in the original genes of plants, the properties are improved. The Government of India has exempted from life guidelines, considering the gene-valuable crops developed from the SDN1 and SDN2 techniques. It has opened the way to create new creatures. This technology can play an important role in food and nutritional protection.
