Approach Solution -2
Naming-convention approach: Varieties prefixed Utkal are typically released by Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar (Odisha was historically called Utkal). Checking crop-wise release lists: OUAT's leafy-vegetable improvement programme released Utkal Mayuri as a high-yielding Vegetable Amaranth selection valued for its tender, nutritious leaves. Pea, vegetable soybean and vegetable pigeon pea varieties from major Indian breeding programmes carry different naming series altogether, so none of them match Utkal Mayuri. This confirms the crop as Vegetable Amaranth.
