, 2023 In India, excellent progress has been made in hybrid rice research and development and because of concerted efforts over the last three decades, 137 hybrids have been released for commercial cultivation in different rice growing states across the country. Among these, 42 hybrids have been developed by the public sector, while the remaining 95 have been

, 2023 Development and production of hybrid rice offers a means to achieve significant yield gains while building viable agri-businesses. The improved genetic potential using this benefits of heterosis (hybrid technology) coupled with a rigorous seed quality mechanism is one of the biggest opportunities for attaining higher impact and a functional African ...
