• Collection, evaluation and maintenance of germplasm of various vegetable crops.
• Development of new genetic materials for high yield, better quality, resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses in major vegetable crops.
• Testing and screening of newly developed genotypes under varies environments to find out their adaptability
• To generate the IPM modules for economic and  eco-friendly control of insect pests

• Collection, evaluation and maintenance of germplasm of important vegetable crops viz., Brinjal, chilli, tomato, okra and cucurbits
• To develop high yielding, disease and insect tolerant varieties/hybrids of vegetable crops with better quality.
• To formulate IPM modules for vegetables Production of seeds of vegetable crops
• Seed production of different vegetable crops

Crop Improvement

• Strengthening of genetic resources which includes collection, evaluation and maintenance of germplasm for making use in breeding programmes.
• Development of new genetic materials for developing genotypes with high stable yield, better grain quality and resistance various biotic and abiotic stresses
• Testing of newly developed genotypes under various categories of trails such as AVT, IVT, LSVT, SSVT

Crop Improvement

·         To develop drought tolerant, high yielding, better quality bidi, chewing and rustica tobacco varieties.

·         Breeding variety for multiple resistances to diseases and insect pests.

·         Breeding tobacco for less health risk factors.
