• NSC WHEAT Raj 4037 is a high-yielding, semi-dwarf bread wheat variety developed and notified by the Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute (RARI), Durgapura / Agricultural Research Station (originally linked to Rajasthan Agricultural University/Kota research contributions).

Key Characteristics of Raj 4037 Wheat

• Yield Potential: Average yield ranges from 45 to 60 quintals per hectare (and up to 60–70+ quintals under optimal management), showing superior performance over local check varieties in regions like Hadauti.
• Crop Duration: Matures in about 125 to 134 days (typically sown through Rabi season up to late December).
• Plant Height: Semi-dwarf plant height of 85 to 100 cm, which prevents lodging (falling over) during strong winds.
• Grain Quality: Produces hard, bright, sweet, and attractive amber-colored grains with great chapati-making qualities.
• Water & Irrigation: Suited for irrigated areas and is noted for requiring moderate/efficient water usage (typically 3–4 irrigations).
• Disease Resistance: Shows good tolerance/resistance to rusts and thermal stress (terminal heat tolerance).
• Seed Rate: Approximately 100 kg per hectare (or ~35–40 kg per acre).
