    the cultivation of the PUSA-44 paddy variety from next year onwards?
    A Uttarakhand Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Haryana Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Punjab Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Tamil Nadu Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    PUSA-44 is a long-duration variety, taking around 160 days to mature. This is around 35 to 40 days more than other varieties, requiring 5-6 extra cycles of irrigation. With Punjab facing severe groundwater depletion and the availability of short-duration paddy varieties, the government aims to conserve one month of irrigation water by banning the variety.
