VNR 1228 / VNR 2355+ (hybrid paddy)

VNR 1228 and VNR 2355 Plus are hybrid paddy products in the catalogue of VNR Seeds Pvt Ltd, a Raipur-based Indian seed company supplying hybrid paddy nationally. They are part of the same private-sector hybrid rice segment as Kaveri 468, Mahindra Mp 3030 Plus, Pioneer 27P37 25P35 and Sava 7501 Savannah.

Key characteristics

  • Marketer: VNR Seeds Pvt Ltd, Raipur
  • Type: F1 hybrid paddy
  • Product family: VNR 2355 Plus and related VNR 2318 (BLB- and blast-tolerant inbred), VNR 1228

Cultivation

Standard hybrid agronomy applies: pre-germinated nursery, transplanting (Transplanting Paddy) at 20-25 days, split nitrogen across tillering, panicle initiation and boot stages (Paddy Panicle Stage Fertilization, Paddy Panicle Stage Management), and fresh certified seed each season. Saved seed from F1 hybrids segregates and is unsuitable for reuse.

Pest and disease profile

Detailed varietal trait dossiers for VNR 2355 Plus and VNR 1228 are restricted to manufacturer and dealer collateral. The related VNR 2318 is marketed as BLB- and blast-tolerant (Bacterial Leaf Blight Paddy, Paddy Blast Disease). None of the VNR hybrid rice lines appears in ICAR-IIRR or AICRIP public release notifications, so trait claims rest on the seed company's evaluation.

Adoption and use

VNR Seeds distributes the products through its dealer network across central, eastern and southern India. Seed production follows the three-line CMS protocol common to Indian hybrid rice (Hybrid Paddy Seed Production).
