Description

Sultan Super Basmati Paddy Seed – Premium Quality & High Profit Variety

Sultan Super Basmati Paddy Seed is one of Pakistan’s most advanced and high-performing basmati rice varieties, developed by the Rice Research Institute (RRI), Kala Shah Kaku. Known for its record-breaking grain length of 9.66 mm and exceptional cooked elongation up to 20 mm, it stands out in both domestic and international markets.

With a crop duration of 115–125 days, this early-maturing variety helps farmers reduce irrigation cycles and prepare fields for the next crop on time. Its semi-dwarf structure (100–110 cm) ensures strong, non-lodging plants that are well-suited for modern farming practices, including mechanical harvesting.

Farmers can achieve a yield potential of 4.5–5.0 tons per hectare, which is significantly higher than traditional Super Basmati. Combined with moderate resistance to major diseases like blast and bacterial leaf blight, Sultan Super ensures stable production with reduced risk.

Its strong aroma, slender grains, and premium cooking quality make it highly preferred in export markets, allowing farmers to earn better returns.
