Wheat Variety Synonyms in India: A Comprehensive List

30 January 2025, New Delhi: The development and release of new crop varieties is a continuous process, often involving multiple institutions and breeding programs. A common practice is to assign a prefix to the variety name, typically an abbreviation of the developing institute or center, followed by a numbered series. This prefix aids in identification during coordinated trials and development. However, upon official notification and release, the developing institutions often assign popular names to the varieties. These popular names, while intended to be more accessible, can create synonymy, where one variety has multiple names. This can lead to confusion among farmers, researchers, and other stakeholders regarding the identity of a specific variety. Understanding these synonyms is crucial for accurate communication, seed procurement, and research.

This article presents a comprehensive list of synonymous names for wheat varieties, aiming to clarify the nomenclature and facilitate unambiguous identification. The table below lists the variety name alongside its known synonyms, arranged alphabetically for ease of reference. This compilation serves as a valuable resource for navigating the complexities of wheat variety naming conventions.
