Why is it in the news?

  • Government is planning to launch a new hybrid wheat variety named Karan Vandana across the country.

About

  • This new hybrid variety wheat has been developed by the Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR) under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
  • It is also known as DBW-187.
  • It is rich in protein and iron.
  • It has high heat tolerance across the country.
  • It is resistant to yellow rust and wheat blast which causes widespread losses.
  • It will reduce unit costs for farmers as well as return higher yield than normal varieties.
  • It can be cultivated only in areas under full irrigation support.

What is Yellow Rust?

  • It is a fungal disease that manifests as powdery yellow stripes on leaves.
  • These yellow stripes hinder photosynthesis and stunt the growth of the plant.
  • Higher temperatures combined with rains during the wheat growing season aid the growth and spread of the disease.
  • All the wheat-growing states like Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, the Tarai region of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and the low lying areas of Jammu and Kashmir are susceptible to the disease.

Wheat Blast

  • It is also a fungal disease.
  • It prevents maturation of the actual grain which affects reproduction by causing the host to produce fewer seeds.
  • It can infect huge areas of cultivation resulting in more than 75% yield loss.
