Compared with traditional transplanting, this rice variety can be sown directly, which significantly saves water and water resources.
Labor force
.
Pusa Basmati 1979 and Pusa Basmati 1985 rice varieties contain a mutated acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene, which allows farmers to spray the broad-spectrum herbicide imazethapyr to control weeds
.
In this way, there is no need to prepare a nursery.
The rice seeds are cultivated into seedlings, and then they are uprooted and replanted in the main field after 25-35 days
.
These two new varieties were officially released by Indian Prime Minister Modi in September

Rice transplanting is laborious and water consuming
.
For the first three weeks after transplantation, the plants should be irrigated almost daily to maintain a water depth of 4-5 cm
.
Even when the crop is in the tillering (stem development) stage for the next four to five weeks, farmers will continue to water every two to three days

"Water is a natural herbicide that can treat weeds during the early growth period of rice crops
.
The new varieties only need to replace part of the water with imazethapyr, without seedling raising, tilling, transplanting and irrigation
.
You can sow rice directly , Just like wheat," said AK Singh, Director of IARI

Imazethapyr is effective against a series of broadleaf weeds, gramineous weeds and sedge weeds, and cannot be used in ordinary rice fields because the chemical cannot distinguish between crops and invasive plants
.
The ALS gene in rice encodes an enzyme (protein) that can synthesize amino acids needed for crop growth and development
.
Herbicides sprayed on ordinary rice will bind to ALS enzymes and inhibit their production of amino acids

.
The new Basmati variety contains an ALS gene whose DNA sequence has been altered using ethyl methanesulfonate (a chemical mutant)
.
Therefore, the ALS enzyme no longer has a binding site for imidazolium, and amino acid synthesis will not be inhibited
.
Rice can now tolerate imazethapyr herbicide and will only kill weeds when applied

Singh pointed out that this is herbicide tolerance achieved through mutation breeding, not genetic modification

Both Pusa Basmati 1979 and 1985 were bred by crossing existing popular varieties (Pusa 1121 and Pusa 1509, respectively) with "Robin"
.
The latter is a mutant line derived from the dryland drought-tolerant rice variety Nagina 22
.
S Robin, a rice breeder from the Agricultural University of Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore, has identified the mutant's imazethapyr tolerance

Farmers in Punjab and Haryana have begun to use direct seeding of rice (DSR) to cope with labor shortages and depletion of groundwater tables
.
This year alone, the total area of rice fields in these two states is 4.
43 million hectares, of which about 600,000 hectares are DSR

.
DSR planting is currently based on two herbicides, pendimethalin (applied within 72 hours after sowing) and bispyribac (18-20 days later)
.
As Singh pointed out, "These are more expensive than Imazethapyr (1,500 rupees vs.
300 rupees/acre)
.
In addition, Imazethapyr has a wider range of weed control and is safer because ALS does not exist in humans and mammals.

Rice transplanting usually requires about 30 irrigations.
Compared with rice transplanting, it is estimated that DSR requires 30% less water, saving 3,000 rupees per acre in transplanting labor costs, and because there is no need to prepare a nursery, it also saves 10- Time cost of 15 days
.
However, the success of DSR depends on effective herbicide solutions, such as breeding imazethapyr-tolerant varieties
