ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research)-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR) has developed a virus-resistant chilli variety. The institute said that it would not release the variant directly in the market but would share it with the Krishi Vignana Kendras (KVKs) across the state and country to check the efficacy of the product.
