Maturity
Pusa 1824 is a 125-day crop, meaning it can be harvested in late September or early October.

Pusa2090
Pusa-2090: A Potential Solution
IARI has developed Pusa-2090, an improved version derived from a cross between Pusa-44 and CB-501, an early-maturing Japonica rice line.
It matures in a shorter duration of 120-125 days while maintaining comparable yields, addressing the core issue of stubble burning.
It combines the high yield attributes of Pusa-44 with the quicker maturation cycle of CB-501, making it a promising alternative.
It has undergone testing at the All-India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project and has been identified for cultivation in regions like Delhi and Odisha.
Farmers in regions where Pusa-2090 has been tested have reported promising yield results.
