Description :

Ranjit Sub 1 is a high-yielding, climate-resilient mega rice variety engineered specifically for flood-prone lowland ecosystems. Developed by introducing the Sub1 gene into the popular parent variety Ranjit, this seed retains all the desirable agronomic and cooking traits of the original Ranjit while offering remarkable flood survival capabilities.It can withstand complete water submergence for up to 14–15 days during flash floods, resuming normal growth and recovery once floodwaters recede. This makes it an ideal solution for farmers in flood-vulnerable regions looking to mitigate crop loss risk while maintaining top-tier harvest yields.

Location : Assam, India

Specification :

Form	:	Raw
Shelf Life	:	145–155 days (Long duration/Sali rice)
Specialty	:	Submergence tolerant (survives 12–15 days underwater)
Benefits	:	Submergence Tolerance: Features the Sub1A gene, allowing the plant to survive 12–15 days of complete underwater submergence by entering a dormant state and regenerating once water levels drop. High Yield Potential: Consistently produces 5.0–5.5 tonnes per hectare (approx. 24–26 quintals per acre), outperforming traditional varieties by roughly 20–25%. Lodging Resistance: Reaches a semi-dwarf height of 110–115 cm with a sturdy stem, ensuring the crop stays upright during heavy monsoon winds and rain. Market-Preferred Grain: Produces Medium Slender (MS) grains that are highly valued for their cooking quality, taste, and high consumer demand. Resource Efficiency: High nitrogen-use efficiency means the plant converts fertilizers into grain more effectively, maximizing the return on input costs. Fodder Value: Generates substantial biomass, providing farmers with plenty of high-quality straw for livestock feed after the harvest. Seed Reusability: As a certified HYV (High Yielding Variety) and not a hybrid, farmers can save and reuse seeds for up to 3 seasons while maintaining yield stability. Stress Recovery: Shows rapid recovery and vigorous tillering immediately after floodwaters recede, minimizing the impact of growth delays. Eco-System Fit: Specifically optimized for rainfed lowlands and areas prone to stagnant water, where other high-yield varieties often fail. Duration: Operates on a 145–155 day cycle, aligning perfectly with the traditional Sali (winter) rice calendar in the Northeast.
Storage	:	Moisture Control: Grains must be sun-dried for 2–3 days immediately after threshing to reduce moisture to 12–13%. This level is critical to prevent fungal growth, grain discoloration, and spoilage during the storage period. Airtight Containers: Use moisture-proof metal bins or hermetic plastic bags to store the paddy. If using gunny bags, stack them on wooden pallets away from walls to prevent moisture re-absorption from the ground or masonry. Seed Preservation: For those saving seeds for next season, store clean, graded grain in a cool, dry, and dark area. Mixing in dried neem leaves serves as a natural repellent against rice weevils while maintaining a high germination rate of over 80%.
