50 to 60 quintals of colored wheat production per hectare   OBJECTIVES OF THE UNIVERSITY  

Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar and National Agri Food Biotech Institute signed an agreement in 2019 under which colored wheat will be produced in Maholi and wheat experts in Hisar have agreed to increase the production by breeding on other varieties of wheat. In which scientists working in this direction have now found black colored wheat. Apart from this, good production has also been obtained in it.

Colored wheat is rich in the pigment anthocyanin, which acts as an antioxidant.

Black wheat has anthocyanin pigmentation levels of 140, compared to 5 to 10 ppm in common wheat.
