About
ICAR- Directorate of Cashew Research is the nodal agency for cashew research in India. The institute houses the largest germplasm repository consisting of 539 accessions in its National Cashew Field Gene Bank (NCFGB). So far, 5 germplasm catalogues containing evaluation data on 478 accessions for 68 characters following cashew descriptor (published by Bioversity International, Italy) have been brought out.
This Cashew Germplasm Database Management System aims at facilitating retrieval of accessions and related information through ‘general search’ and ‘search as per descriptor’ involving vegetative and reproductive traits. Currently the database hosts data on 478 accessions. This facility will be useful to researchers, students and other stakeholders.
