About this variety

Paiyur 1 is a horse gram variety released in 1988 by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University's Regional Research Station at Paiyur тАФ confirmed by name, institute and year in TNAU's own official cumulative "Crop Varieties Released from TNAU" register, which lists exactly three horse gram releases from the university across its history: CO 1 (1953), Paiyur 1 (1988) and Paiyur 2 (1998). Beyond that register entry, no further agronomic detail тАФ parentage, duration, yield, or disease reaction тАФ specific to Paiyur 1 could be confirmed in the sources searched for this page. It sits between CO 1 and Paiyur 2 in the same station's breeding timeline, and current cultivation recommendations in Tamil Nadu favour the later, better-documented Paiyur 2.
