Specialized Research Centers

  • MFPI – Quality Control Laboratory: An NABL-accredited facility providing analytical and quality profiling services for university crops and commercial testing. The laboratory houses an AERB-authorized GC-5000 Gamma Irradiator (Category-I) with Cobalt-60 (⁶⁰Co), facilitating radiation-based research applications.
  • Pesticide Residue Laboratory: An NABL-accredited laboratory offering testing for 121 pesticide residues. Advanced analytical techniques, including LC-MS/MS (for 79 residues) and GC-MS/MS (for 42 residues), enable detection at a sensitivity threshold of 0.01 mg/kg.
  • Millet Processing & Incubation Centre: Engaged in the commercialization of FSSAI-approved millet-based products under the brand MILLET PLUS, promoting value addition and market expansion.

Agro Climatic Zones of Telangana

Telangana is apportioned into three agro-climatic zones based on the geographical characteristics such as rainfall, temperature, nature of soils etc. as follows:

  1. North Telangana Zone
  2. Central Telangana Zone
  3. South Telangana Zone

PJTAU is committed to advancing agricultural sustainability, food security, and rural development through innovation, strategic collaborations, and farmer-centric initiatives

Cereals and Millets

  • Rice Improvement: Developed over 38 high-yielding rice varieties with enhanced resistance to major pests and diseases, superior cooking quality, and improved nutritional attributes (2014–2024). Notably, RNR 15048 (Telangana Sona), a low glycemic index variety, has gained prominence for its export potential.
  • Maize Hybrids for Enhanced Productivity: DHM 117 and DHM 121 have been extensively adopted, covering over 1 million hectares across multiple states in India. Four maize hybrids have been released in the last decade (2014–2024), including two at the national level (Karimnagar Makka-1 and DHM 206) and two at the state level (KNMH 141 and DHM 182), contributing to yield enhancement and climate resilience. These hybrids have also been successfully commercialized by 45 private-sector seed companies.
  • Climate-Resilient Millet Varieties: Developed six improved sorghum varieties (CSV 31, PYPS 2, CSV 41, PSV 516, STV 68, and STV 55), one pearl millet hybrid (PBH 1625), and one finger millet variety (PRS 38), offering enhanced adaptability to diverse agro-climatic conditions and improved nutritional profiles.

Prof.Balram Marathi

Director of Research
dr@pjtau.edu.in

Prof. Balram Marathi completed his B.Sc. (Ag) and M.Sc. (Ag) in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University, Hyderabad. He earned his Ph.D. from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, and pursued post-doctoral research at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines. He has over 34 years of experience in teaching, research, and extension.

He has developed one cotton hybrid, five rice varieties, and two hybrid rice parental lines with an outcrossing potential of 60–75%. He has mapped chromosomal regions associated with important traits such as yield, grain quality, floral characteristics, and resistance to brown planthopper (BPH), blast, and sheath blight in rice. He also contributed to the development of the groundnut variety Kadiri 6 (K6), which possesses high oleic acid content and resistance to late leaf spot and rust, using marker-assisted breeding.

Prof. Balram has successfully managed the implementation of externally funded research projects worth ₹6.26 crores from various funding agencies. He has collaborated with IIT Hyderabad, IIT Bombay, and the University of Tokyo, Japan, on high-throughput field phenotyping of rice and maize using drone imaging. Through this collaboration, he developed a technology for differentiating filled and unfilled grains using thermal imaging and filed a patent for it in India.

He has published 60 research articles, 2 books, and 14 book chapters in national and international journals. In addition, he has presented 33 research papers at national and international conferences, published 33 popular articles, and delivered 15 radio and television programmes. Prof. Balram has guided 23 students at the master’s, doctoral, and post-doctoral levels.

He has served as Editor for Frontiers in Genetics and MDPI Plants, and as an editorial board member for the Indian Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Journal of Research PJTSAU, and Rice Research Open Access Journal. He also acts as a reviewer for several reputed scientific journals. Furthermore, he has contributed to shaping the policy framework for Genetically Modified (GM) crops in Telangana State.

His post-doctoral research at IRRI, Philippines, titled “Increasing Hybrid Seed Production through Higher Out-Crossing Rate in Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Rice and Related Materials and Methods”, led to patents being granted in the United States of America (USA), India, and the Philippines.

Prof. Balram has received several prestigious academic recognitions, including:

  • Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, London
  • Fellow of the Indian Society of Genetics and Plant Breeding
  • Telangana State Best Teacher Award
  • Jawaharlal Nehru National Award (ICAR)
  • Assam Government Gold Medal, IARI, New Delhi
