Abstract:
The KVK conducted On Farm Trials and Frontline Demonstrations to test the adaptability of Basmati varieties under farmers’ field condition. The varieties tested were Pusa Basmati-1121, Pusa Basmati-1509, Pusa Basmati-1612 and Pusa Basmati-1 as check. The results indicated that yield increase of Basmati varieties ranged between 7.95 to 26.75 percent over farmers practice. The variety Pusa Basmati-1612 gave highest yield of 52.60 qt/ha with net return of Rs 105625.00 and CB ratio of 1:5.08.
