ICRISAT Launches Rapid-Ragi Protocol to Fast-Track Finger Millet Research
In a major breakthrough for crop science, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) has introduced a new speed breeding protocol for finger millet, known as Rapid-Ragi. This innovative method significantly shortens the crop’s growth cycle, allowing researchers to grow up to four to five generations of finger millet each year. Traditionally,…
