😎Scientists at the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Kashmir (SKUAST-K) have developed two new wheat varieties that could help farmers harvest on time and thus boost the total food grain production of the Union Territory.
In jammu,Besides, SW-3 is also biofortified with iron and zinc content of more than 40 ppm, protein content of 12 %, is disease-resistant, and with a potential productivity of up to 38 quintals per hectare
🌴The new varieties are suited for mid-altitude regions up to about 1,850 m above sea level
🌴Another important trait is resistance to yellow rust, a fungal disease that gives leaves a rusty-yellow appearance and leads to stunting and lower yield. It prevails in Kashmir’s climate.
😄Wheat is a Rabi crop. It is sown in the winter months (October-November) and harvested in the spring (March-April), requiring a cool, temperate climate for optimal growth. Wheat is not a Kharif crop, as it cannot withstand the high heat and heavy rain of the monsoon season

❤️Semiconductors are primarily made from high-purity silicon (Si), refined from silica sand (quartzite), making it the most common base material. Other raw materials include germanium (Ge) and compound semiconductors like gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), and silicon carbide (SiC). These materials are refined, crystallized, and sliced into wafers
🥴Dopants (Impurities): Boron (B), Phosphorus (P), Arsenic (As), and Antimony (Sb) are added to modify electrical properties
