early maturing rice variety late transplanting short duration
2 Answers
For late sowing choose short duration varieties that mature in about 110 to 125 days, such as Pusa Basmati 1509 among basmatis and PR 126 or similar early non-basmati varieties recommended for your state. Short duration types free the field early for wheat or potato, save 1 to 2 irrigations, and reduce late season pest exposure. They need timely nitrogen and good weed control because the crop window is tight. PB 1509 matures in around 115 to 120 days and is well suited to late transplanting after early maturing crops. Pick the exact variety from your state agriculture university list and use certified seed.
PB 1509 let me take potato after rice in time. Short duration is a relief when monsoon is late.
