      Question

      Recently which state announced that the state will ban

      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.
