Varsha Suvarna (Research Wheat) - Sri Ram 111
Research wheat segment for food grain production with stable tillering, grain quality focus, and suitability for irrigated rabi systems.
Key Features
- Optimum sowing in main rabi window supports best tillering
- Critical irrigations at CRI, booting and grain filling stages
- Timely nitrogen split and weed control improves returns
- Use clean, treated seed for healthy crop establishment
Growing Information

Sowing Time
Seed Rate
100-125 kg/ha
Harvesting
Harvest when grain hardens and straw turns golden.
Post-Cutting Activities
Dry grain to safe storage moisture before bagging.
Fertilizer
Apply balanced NPK based on soil test and split nitrogen with irrigations.
Weed Control
Early post-emergence weed management during first 35 days is critical.
Pest & Disease Management
Monitor rusts and aphids; apply recommended fungicide/insecticide only when required.
