Basmati rice is praised for aroma and super fine quality. Traditional Basmati rice varieties are tall, lodging, photosensitive and with low yield potential. The improved Basmati varieties viz., Pusa Basmati 1 and Kasturi are not suitable for cultivation in Tamil Nadu because of their poor adaptation and yield. The research oriented on this line has resulted in the identification of a dwarf Basmati (AD 90190) with high yield potential retaining Basmati qualities and this selection was identified from the irradiated dwarf mutant of Basmati 370. The average grain yield is 4758 kg/ha in a crop duration of 110 days. This culture has been released as ADT 41 and popularly named as JJ 92, suitable for cultivation during sornawari kar/kuruval seasons.
