The new technique called RR 1000 has helped increase the yield of paddy per hectare from 4-5 tonnes to 7 - 9 tonnes on 25,840 hectares as against the target area of 26,000 hectares in Madurai district as declared by the collector C.Kamaraj and Joint Director of Agriculture P.Sankaralingam during the harvest festival at Porusupatti where mechanisation was widely followed for planting, weeding and harvesting of paddy.
According to collector the higher yield has been scientifically proven.
Kudos to the efforts of the district administration in this regard!!
