HYDERABAD: While the state will have to supply raw rice in the coming summer seasons as well, with broken rice stocks causing losses, ongoing research at Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agriculture University (PJTSAU) may provide some relief to farmers.
The university is currently working on and experimenting with a bank of paddy seed varieties that will produce less broken rice during the summer season milling of paddy. Following several requests from farmers and millers for seed varieties that produce less broken rice after late harvesting and milling in the summer, the university began the work.
