1718 Basmati Rice

The newly developed basmati variety, 1718, is an enhanced version of the well-known Pusa 1121. This improved strain is resistant to bacterial leaf blight and is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions like heavy rain, hailstorms, and strong winds, preventing crop lodging. It also offers a higher yield and matures faster than other basmati varieties, making it a more efficient and resilient choice for farmers.
