 1. Rice TKM 13
Derived from the cross of two rice varieties viz., WGL 32100 /
Swarna, TKM 13 variety has medium slender fine grain with lesser 1000

2015
grain weight (13.5 g). It matures in 130 days which is 7-10 days earlier
than BPT 5204. The average grain yield of this variety is 5938 kg/ha which
is 6.2 and 10.1 per cent increase over CO (R) 49 and BPT 5204
respectively. TKM 13 is moderately resistant to leaf folder, stem borer,
green leaf hopper, blast, rice tungro disease, brown spot and sheath rot.
This variety has high milling yield (75.5%) and head rice yield (71.7%),
which is on par with the check variety BPT 5204.
2. Rice CR 1009 Sub1
This is an improved version of CR 1009 with Sub 1 gene conferring
submergence tolerance at seedling level for 15 days immediately after
transplantation and the work was undertaken at International Rice
Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines. This variety has given a mean grain
yield of 5759 kg/ha in 155 days with moderate resistance to brown spot,
blast, brown plant hopper (BPH) and white backed plant hopper (WBPH).
This long duration variety is suitable for samba season for the long
duration rice cultivating tracts of Tamil Nadu which are prone to flood. CR
1009 sub 1 possesses short bold rice with high milling percentage and
head rice recovery. Rice contains high amylose with intermediate
gelatinization temperature and soft gel consistency which is suitable for
idly making and this variety is recommended as an alternate to CR 1009.
3. Rice MDU 6
Derived from the cross MDU 5 / ACM 96136, this variety matures in 110-115 days and yields 6118 kg/ha in irrigated
condition. Highest yield of 9388 kg/ha was recorded at Ayyampalayam, Erode District. It has long slender which rice with
intermediate amylose content, gelatinization temperature and high linear elongation ratio on cooking, superior cooking
quality with good taste and highly suitable for raw rice, variety rice, aval and pori making. This variety is suitable for
cultivation as transplanted rice throughout Tamil Nadu except Nilgiris district.

A new high-yielding and early maturing rice variety 'Malviya Manila Sinchit
Dhan-1' developed by Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in collaboration
with International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) Manila, Philippines will
soon hit the markets in the state.

Indian Institute of Rice Research (ICAR-IIRR) recently released four new

rice varieties viz., DRR Dhan 53, DRR Dhan 54, DRR Dhan 55 and DRR
Dhan 56 through Central Sub-committee on Crop Standards, Notification
and Release of Varieties for Agricultural Crops vide S.O. 500(E) dt.

The National Seed Board  of Nepal has approved the release of seven new
rice varieties for cultivation in 2022 namely Ghaiya-3, Hardinath-4,
Hardinath-5, Hardinath-6, Khumal Basmati-16, Ganga Sagar-1, and Ganga
Sagar-3. The newly released cultivars have multiple traits, including high-grain
production, good grain quality, and  resistance to pests  and diseases. Some are
also flood- and drought-tolerant  and have 20% higher nitrogen-use
efficiency.
Tamil Nadu Agricultural University releases 23 new
crop varieties
TNN | Updated: Feb 16, 2023, 07:29 IST

COIMBATORE: TNAU released a new kavuni

(medium-grain black rice) variety named Co-57,
which gives double the yield.
Releasing the variety, TNAU vice-chancellor V
Geethalakshmi said it is suitable for all seasons.
"The yield is 4,600kg/ hectare, which is a 100%
increase compared to the popular variety in use. It will
be ready for harvest in 130-135 days and is a more
viable variety for farmers," she said. "Co-57 has high
nutritional value due to high fibre and protein, but
less carbohydrates. Since its glycemic index is less, it
will prevent sudden increase in blood sugar levels. It
also has anti-cancer properties due to presence of
flavonoids."
