Boro Rice (BRRI dhan 29)
Step-by-Step Planting Instructions for Boro Rice (BRRI dhan 29):
Sow nursery seeds between Nov 28 – Dec 5. Delaying the seedbed stops seedlings from maturing too early before winter ends.
Transplant 25–30 day old seedlings into the prepared muddy field by Dec 18 for best root establishment.
Provide light irrigation in the evening during flowering in April to keep root zones cool and protect pollen fertility.

High-yielding winter rice, but extremely vulnerable to falling aquifers and late March heat waves during flowering.
Monsoon rainfed staple. Increasingly threatened by erratic delayed monsoons and coastal salinity intrusion.
Ultra short-duration oilseed. Requires only 2-3 light irrigations; harvests before March heat waves strike.
High market demand for poultry feed. Deep root system uses 56% less water than rice with high heat tolerance.
Minimal input pulse that enriches soil nitrogen naturally. Uses 82% less water than Boro rice.
Blast-resistant, zinc-biofortified winter grain requiring only 3 irrigations, reducing groundwater strain.
