About this variety

Narendra Jamun-6 is a variety released by Narendra Dev University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad, bred for the growing conditions of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Alongside Rajendra Jamun-1 in Bihar, it represents the state-agricultural-university tier of jamun breeding — a real, regionally focused alternative to the more nationally cited CISH Lucknow, Konkan Bahadoli and Goma Priyanka releases, giving growers in the eastern Uttar Pradesh jamun belt planting material specifically selected and evaluated under their own local conditions.

Advantages & considerations

Why farmers may choose it

  • Selected and evaluated specifically under eastern Uttar Pradesh conditions, giving a regionally relevant option distinct from western-India releases.
  • A university-backed source of grafted planting material within the state.

Things to consider

  • Less represented in the national comparative trial literature (which centres on Konkan Bahadoli, Goma Priyanka and CISH selections), so direct yield comparisons are harder to source.
  • No specific seedlessness or documented sodicity-tolerance trait, unlike the CISH J-42 and CISH J-37 selections.

Suitable regions

States this variety is recommended for — check locally, since a state can have more than one recommended zone.
