About this variety

Pant Suvarna completes the set of three pickle-type karonda varieties released by GBPUAT Pantnagar, alongside Pant Manohar and Pant Sudarshan. It shares the same breeding goal — a consistently high-acidity, low total soluble solids green fruit bred specifically for pickle and chutney processing — giving growers in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand three closely related, institutionally released choices rather than a single option, useful where a processor wants to compare performance across more than one named line under local conditions.

  • Gives growers a third comparison point alongside Pant Manohar and Pant Sudarshan for local trial planting.

Things to consider
