Pest & disease considerations
Major diseases
- IARI's own technology-transfer page for Pusa Hybrid 6 (directly fetched this phase) does not mention disease or pest resistance at all — this record's own diseaseResistance field ("Variable") is not confirmed or contradicted by that source, just unaddressed by it
Advantages & considerations
Why farmers may choose it

- Round, glossy, medium-sized purple fruit — a distinct market type from the long/extra-long fruited varieties elsewhere in this registry
Things to consider
- Reviewed 2026-08-15, left as-is: IARI's own page gives no disease or pest resistance information for this hybrid — no source contradicts this record's "Variable" diseaseResistance field, it simply doesn't confirm it either. Kept as an unconfirmed placeholder rather than evidence of an error, pending a primary source that actually addresses resistance.
- Reviewed 2026-08-15, left as-is: a Bihar on-farm trial report (Lakhisarai district, kharif 2016, under KVK Lakhisarai supervision — WebSearch summary only, not independently fetched) suggests Pusa Hybrid 6 has been grown outside Maharashtra, but with no fetchable primary source this record's single-state Maharashtra field is kept unchanged pending stronger sourcing.
