About this variety

PDR-14, popularly named Uday, is a red-variegated-seeded kidney bean variety associated with ICAR-IIPR (Indian Institute of Pulses Research), Kanpur, established 1983. Corroborated secondary sources describe it maturing in about 125–130 days after sowing with a yield of roughly 30 q/ha, tolerant of a bean mosaic disease.

Pest & disease considerations

Advantages & considerations

Things to consider

  • Corrected 2026-08-15: multiple corroborating secondary sources agree on maturity of 125–130 days and a yield around 30 q/ha, both well beyond this record's old "90–100 days" duration and "10–12 q/ha" yieldPotential fields — duration corrected to "125–130 days" and yieldPotential corrected to "~30 q/ha".
  • A naming tension: this record's existing diseaseResistance field names Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV), while corroborated secondary sources instead say "BSMV" (Bean Severe Mosaic Virus) — these may be the same disease under different naming conventions, a genuine naming difference between two distinct viruses, or a source inaccuracy; not resolved this phase, so both names are reported here rather than one being asserted over the other.
  • No states discrepancy found — this record's existing Uttar Pradesh + Punjab field is consistent with an IIPR, Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) origin.

Frequently asked questions

What institute is PDR-14 (Uday) associated with?

ICAR-IIPR (Indian Institute of Pulses Research), Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, established in 1983.

How long does PDR-14 (Uday) take to mature?

Multiple corroborating sources give 125–130 days, and this record's duration field reflects that figure.

What yield does PDR-14 (Uday) give?

Multiple corroborating sources give roughly 30 q/ha, and this record's yieldPotential field reflects that figure.

Is PDR-14 (Uday) tolerant to BCMV or BSMV?

This record's existing field names BCMV (Bean Common Mosaic Virus), while corroborated secondary sources instead say BSMV (Bean Severe Mosaic Virus) — the naming difference was not resolved this phase, and both are reported rather than one asserted over the other.

What does PDR-14 (Uday) seed look like?

Red-variegated, matching this record's existing description — a distinctive seed-coat pattern that helps distinguish it from solid-coloured rajma varieties.
