Abstract

                                A new high yielding ragi culture DPI 1161, a pure line selection has been developed and released as Paiyur 1. This strain with an average yield of 1800 Kg of grain and 4250 Kg of straw per hectare matures in 115-120 days. The special attributes of the strain viz higher grain and straw yield, medium duration, long open earheads and moderately resistance to blast render this variety more suited to rainfed cropping in the zone.
