Hybrid Paddy Seeds : Banned
Punjab government has banned the sale of hybrid paddy seeds ahead of the 2025 Kharif season.The decision follows rice millers’ refusal to accept hybrid rice due to low milling efficiency and broken grain output.Hybrid paddy is a crossbred rice variety developed from two different parent lines to increase yield, water efficiency, and early maturity.These varieties are non-Basmati and cultivated for commercial high-yield farming.
