Punjab advices farmers for cultivation of PR 128 & PR 129 varieties of non-basmati

Chandigarh, May 14 (UNI) On the recommendations of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), the Punjab Agriculture department has adviced the farmers to go for cultivation of PR-128 & PR-129 varieties of non-Basmati (Parmal) for its unique features of early maturity, being less water intensive and for better paddy straw management without resorting to burning.
Stating this here on Thursday, Financial Commissioner (Development) Viswajeet Khanna said that both these new varieties have already got approval from representatives of the milling industry, a vital pre-requisite for release of a rice variety to the farmers of the state. He said that milling trials were extensively conducted in 2019 and 2020.
The ACS revealed that both these latest varieties are expected to replace long duration, higher water requiring varieties of rice cultivated by some farmers in Bathinda, Mansa, Sangrur, Barnala, Moga and Ludhiana districts. Several adaptive trials have been conducted in these districts and have indicated very good prospects.
