A farmer from Pakistan has sought seeds of newly developed 'Malviya Manila Sinchit Dhan-1' paddy variety for cultivation from the Banaras Hindu University (BHU)
This paddy variety that interested the Pakistani caller has been named ‘Malviya Manila Sinchit Dhan-1 (MMSD-1)’ after BHU founder Pt Madan Mohan Malviya
This variant’s productivity is higher than other conventional varieties. Moreover, it ripens early and resists wind due to stronger stems, and skirts drought.
