The Lifeline of Nutrition & Farming
DURGA is a high-quality red gram (pigeon pea) variety, developed for early maturity, strong plant structure, and resistance to Helicoverpa damage. With a determinate growth habit, erect stature, and more branching, this variety ensures better pod setting and higher yields. It is best suited for early Kharif cultivation, allowing it to flower (80–85 days) and mature (115–120 days) before Helicoverpa infestation begins, making it a highly reliable choice for farmers.
Challenges & Solutions
Red gram cultivation faces several challenges, including pest attacks, delayed maturity, and inconsistent yields. DURGA is specifically designed to overcome these issues and provide maximum profitability.
Challenges
Common difficulties in growing traditional red gram varieties include:
Helicoverpa Pest Attack
Delayed Flowering & Maturity
Weak Plant Structure
Inconsistent Yield in Early Kharif Season
Solutions
DURGA provides key advantages to improve productivity and minimize risks:
Early Maturity (115–120 Days)
Flowering in 80–85 Days
Determinate, Erect Growth with More Branches
Adaptability to Early Kharif Season
