Ranjit Sub 1 (paddy Seeds)
Code : P14297

Raw

145–155 days (Long duration/Sali rice)

Submergence tolerant (survives 12–15 days underwater)

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.

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%.
