Ranjit Sub-1 Paddy Seeds (High Yielding & Flood Tolerant)
Ranjit Sub-1 is a revolutionary high-yielding variety (HYV) of winter rice developed to provide food security for farmers in flood-prone lowland regions. Engineered with the specialized Sub1A gene, this variety can withstand complete submergence under water for up to 15 days, a period that would typically destroy conventional crops. Instead of rotting, the plant enters a dormant state to conserve energy and resumes vigorous growth once the floodwaters recede. This climate-resilient variety ensures that monsoon floods no longer mean a total loss for the season, making it a boon for the agricultural landscape of Assam and the Northeast. Beyond its incredible survival traits, Ranjit Sub-1 is a powerhouse of productivity. It reaches a sturdy, semi-dwarf height of 110–115 cm, providing excellent resistance against lodging (falling over) even during heavy rains and winds. Over a growth cycle of 145–155 days, it yields a high-quality, medium-slender grain that is highly preferred for its taste and market value. With an average yield of 5.0 to 5.5 tonnes per hectare, it offers significantly higher returns than traditional varieties. These certified seeds are a sustainable choice for farmers looking for a reliable, high-performing crop that thrives where others cannot.

Location : Assam, India

Specification :

Form	:	Raw
Crop Duration	:	145–155 days (Long duration/Sali rice)
Speciality	:	Submergence tolerant (survives 12–15 days underwater)
Benefits	:	Submergence Tolerance: Features the Sub1A gene, allowing the plant to survive 12–15 days of complete underwater submergence by entering a dormant state and regenerating once water levels drop. High Yield Potential: Consistently produces 5.0–5.5 tonnes per hectare (approx. 24–26 quintals per acre), outperforming traditional varieties by roughly 20–25%. Lodging Resistance: Reaches a semi-dwarf height of 110–115 cm with a sturdy stem, ensuring the crop stays upright during heavy monsoon winds and rain. Market-Preferred Grain: Produces Medium Slender (MS) grains that are highly valued for their cooking quality, taste, and high consumer demand. Resource Efficiency: High nitrogen-use efficiency means the plant converts fertilizers into grain more effectively, maximizing the return on input costs. Fodder Value: Generates substantial biomass, providing farmers with plenty of high-quality straw for livestock feed after the harvest. Seed Reusability: As a certified HYV (High Yielding Variety) and not a hybrid, farmers can save and reuse seeds for up to 3 seasons while maintaining yield stability. Stress Recovery: Shows rapid recovery and vigorous tillering immediately after floodwaters recede, minimizing the impact of growth delays. Eco-System Fit: Specifically optimized for rainfed lowlands and areas prone to stagnant water, where other high-yield varieties often fail. Duration: Operates on a 145–155 day cycle, aligning perfectly with the traditional Sali (winter) rice calendar in the Northeast.
Storage	:	Moisture Control: Grains must be sun-dried for 2–3 days immediately after threshing to reduce moisture to 12–13%. This level is critical to prevent fungal growth, grain discoloration, and spoilage during the storage period. Airtight Containers: Use moisture-proof metal bins or hermetic plastic bags to store the paddy. If using gunny bags, stack them on wooden pallets away from walls to prevent moisture re-absorption from the ground or masonry. Seed Preservation: For those saving seeds for next season, store clean, graded grain in a cool, dry, and dark area. Mixing in dried neem leaves serves as a natural repellent against rice weevils while maintaining a high germination rate of over 80%.
