New Castor Plant Hybrids Boost Seed Yield by Up to 75%!
The researchers studied different castor plant hybrids to see how well they performed in different environments. They crossed different types of castor plants to create new hybrids and found that some combinations produced significantly higher seed yields. The best combinations for seed yield were JP-89 x PCS-124, JP-89 x RG-2826, SKP-84 x 48-1, SKP-106 x 48-1, and SKP-106 x PCS-124, which showed the highest increase in seed yield compared to the parents. This shows that certain combinations of castor plants can produce much more seeds than their parents, which could be useful for improving crop yields.
