Fast-Maturing Hybrid Jowar with High Nutrient Content and Disease Tolerance
RAMYA-14 is a high-yielding hybrid jowar (sorghum) variety, developed for fast maturity, superior
grain quality, and excellent disease resistance. With a plant height of 6–7 feet and a maturity period
of 75–80 days in Kharif and 90–100 days in Rabi, this variety is ideal for both grain and fodder
production in rainfed and upland irrigated conditions. The bold, dark gray grains have higher nutrient
content, making RAMYA-14 an excellent choice for commercial jowar cultivation. Additionally, its
strong resistance to downy mildew ensures better crop health and stable yields.
