RH-725 mustard, bred by Dr. Ramavtar Singh from Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, is widely celebrated as the top-performing mustard variety in India. It’s known for breaking production records and outshining even the leading commercial seed brands.

To begin cultivation, farmers typically use a seed rate of just 1 kilogram per acre, which ensures optimal plant density for healthy growth. The crop takes about 135 days to reach full maturity, so timing your sowing and harvesting is key to maximizing yield.

In terms of irrigation, RH-725 is quite adaptable. Some regions may require two rounds of irrigation, while others — like Purvanchal and parts of Uttar Pradesh — can manage with just one. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of agro-climatic zones.

One of the standout features of RH-725 is its bold, plump grains, which contribute to both high yield and excellent oil content. Each pod typically contains between 17 to 20 grains, showcasing its impressive productivity. With proper care, farmers can achieve yields of up to 12 quintals per acre — a remarkable figure that speaks to the variety’s potential.
