- Agriculture expert dwells on cultivation of rice variety The Tribune India | Ludhiana NYOOOZ - NYOOOZ
Tribune News ServiceLudhiana May 20An expert of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) today advised farmers to cultivate PR 126 rice variety which is resource-use efficient and helps to sustain rice production by addressing the problem of declining water table while maintaining higher profitability.
About the characteristics of the variety Dr Mangat said: “The variety PR 126 matures in 93 days after transplanting.
It matures about three to four earlier than the long-duration varieties (Pusa 44 Peeli Pusa and PR 118).
Due to a shorter duration for maturation PR 126 escapes abiotic stresses as well as the incidence of insect-pests and diseases thereby leading to lower cost of cultivation.
Amongst such technologies the selection of short duration variety (such as PR 126) and adoption of improved agronomic practices were the important inputs he observed.
