Enrichment & Conservation
Collection and conservation of genetic resources of spices is the major mandate of ICAR-AICRPS. India, being the hot spot of genetic diversity of spices, surveys were conducted in various spices growing belts of the country and a large number of germplasm in all the mandate crops has been assembled in the various centres of ICAR-AICRPS.
Germplasm Repository
The conserved germplasm includes a diverse mix of native cultivars, wild relatives, and exotic collections, serving as a genetic reservoir for future breeding programs.
