Dr Ajmer Singh Dhatt, Director of Research, and Abhishek Singh from Atlanta Crop Private Limited signed the Memorandum of Agreement on behalf of their respective organisations.

Dr Surinder Sandhu, in-charge, Maize Section, stated that this is a high-yielding hybrid with an average yield of 24.8 (q/acre) and matures in 98 days. “It bears long conico-cylindrical ears having yellow orange flint bold grains with yellow caps. It is moderately resistant to maydis leaf blight, maize stem borer and fall army worm,” she added.

Dr GS Mangat, Additional Director of Research (Agriculture), congratulated Dr Sandhu and her team as well as the company for sharing responsibility of disseminating the hybrid developed by PAU.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
