These improved varieties have gained fame among farmers for high yield, disease resistance and adaptability to different climatic conditions.
The wheat varieties, Shriram Super 3-SR-72 and 5-SR-05, developed by the world renowned wheat scientists of Shriram Farm Solutions, are very popular among the farmers due to their adaptability and excellent productivity. Their grain is large, hard and shiny, and it is tolerant to diseases. The most important thing is that the results of these varieties are excellent even in the new challenges emerging from the changing nature. Due to these characteristics, both these varieties have become the first choice of farmers in different regions of India.
Kapur Singh, an experienced farmer of Sawai Madhopur, says that this year he sowed Shriram Super 5-SR-05 wheat in his field. He says that the stem of this variety is very strong, due to which there is no possibility of the crop falling. Also, the number of spikes is high and the production was high with each ear yielding 85–90 grains. He says, “Shriram Super 5-SR-05 gave stable and excellent yields even in adverse weather conditions – it is a truly reliable wheat variety.”
Along with this, farmers are also very happy with the variety Shriram Super 3-SR-72 being offered in the market by Shriram and are getting excellent results.
Bhagwan Meena of Kaurli sowed Shriram Super 3-SR-72 wheat in his field last year. He says that this variety has more buds, more fodder and is very tolerant towards stem fall.
