DRRH 3 The First High Yielding Rice Hybrid With Medium Slender (MS) Grain Type
Directorate of Rice Research (DRR),Hyderabad has developed a high yielding hybrid DRRH-3 with medium slender grain type for irrigated ecology. It can be cultivated in areas with assured irrigation, where fine- grained rice varieties are preferred and widely cultivated. This hybrid can give about 23-30% more yield than BPT 5204. The grain quality traits of […]
