1718 Basmati
1121 quality, bred for healthier crops.
1718 is a disease-resistant successor of 1121, carrying two genes that guard against bacterial blight. Farmers get a cleaner crop with fewer chemical inputs, and buyers get 1121-class grain length with very low chalkiness — a strong fit for markets with strict residue limits.
