High-yielding rice hybrid KR 09 boosts farmer profits in Uttar Pradesh.
A study was done in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh to test 10 different rice hybrids in the kharif season of 2016. The best performing hybrid was KR 09, showing taller plants, more tillers, longer panicles, higher grain yield, and better overall yield compared to other hybrids. KR 09 also gave the highest profit and cost ratio. Other hybrids like KR 08, KR 07, and KR 10 performed similarly to KR 09.
