FAQs 

Q: How is Pusa 1718 different from the original Pusa 1121?

A: Pusa 1718 is a genetically improved version of 1121. While it retains the same grain length and aroma, it has been bred to be much shorter in height (preventing lodging/falling) and highly resistant to Bacterial Leaf Blight.   

Q: Is this 10kg seed bag already treated?

A: Yes, this basic seed comes with professional seed treatment to ensure protection against soil-borne diseases and to promote a high germination rate right from the start. 

Q: What is the average maturity period for Pusa 1718?

A: Pusa 1718 typically matures in 135 to 145 days. Its shorter plant height compared to 1121 makes it more manageable and resilient against strong winds during the ripening stage.
