Rice 1121 Sella

Pusa 1121 is an essentially derived variety evolved through the process of
hybridization over a long breeding process. This variety of rice is known for its
extraordinary kernel (grain) length, which can be as much as 8.4 millimetres (0.33 in)
for a single grain, the longest-ever known released cultivator in the world. It has
remarkably high kernel elongation ratio ranging from 2 to 2.5, i.e., length of cooked
rice kernel/length of uncooked kernel. When cooked, the rice does not turn sticky,
possesses minimum breadthwise expansion, and is aromatic with intermediate alkali-
spreading value and amylose content.

It was developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) and released for
commercial cultivation in kharif season of 2003. By 2007, the variety has become widely
popular with farmers, as Pusa-1121 is photo-insensitive, requires less water, matures
early and yields 19–20 quintals of paddy per acre as compared to 9–10 quintals for
traditional tall basmati.

As of 2013 Pusa Basmati 1121 had spread over 84% of the total basmati area in Punjab,
78% in Western Uttar Pradesh, 68% in Haryana, 30% in Uttarakhand, 8% in Jammu and
Kashmir and grown over a 1000-ha area in hill state of Himachal Pradesh. It is an
important export commodity. Its export has enhanced India's annual basmati foreign
exchange earnings from Rs 5000 crores in 2009 to Rs 27597.87 crores in 2014–15 (Source:
