🔘Pusa Yashasvi🔘 ✅Recently, the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) has released a new variety of wheat named Pusa Yashasvi. ✅It is also known as HD-3226. ✅It has higher genetic yield potential (at 79.6 quintals) as compared to other varieties of wheat. ✅Pusa Yashasvi has a higher content of zinc, protein, and gluten (which contributes to the strength and elasticity of the dough). ✅The best feature of this variety of wheat is that it is highly resistant against all major rust fungi viz. yellow/stripe, brown/leaf, and black/stem. ✅It is compliant to the conservation agriculture
