Variety selection is one of the crucial aspects of rice cultivation. In order to ensure a good crop, higher yield and better income, locally adapted varieties must be selected based on climatic conditions, duration, resistance to biotic & abiotic stresses, grain quality, stature, potential yield, etc.
Factors to consider while choosing a variety:
- Varietal adaptability to local climatic condition
- Duration and yield potential
- Tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses
- Suitability as per the method of establishment and management practices
- Good grain quality having aroma, taste, shape and cooking characteristics.
Consult with a local agriculture officer to know about the best performing rice varieties in your area. Here you can choose suitable varieties on the basis of your local farming condition by selecting district, ecology, season and stress condition.
