Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has developed a new wheat variety which can overcome the challenges arising out due to changes in weather patterns and rising heat levels.
This new wheat variety called HD-3385 is amenable to early sowing, escaping the impact of heat spikes and can be harvested before March end.
The Union Agriculture Ministry declared that a committee had been established to keep an eye on the situation resulting from the rise in temperatures and its effects on the present wheat harvest.
In Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, wheat is mostly sown before mid-November. In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, it is generally sown during the second half of November. Normally, it takes 140–145 days to reach harvest readiness.
This new variety of wheat is expected to have a significant impact on Indian agriculture, with the potential to improve food security, reduce poverty, and increase the incomes of farmers.
