| 摘要 |
Rice is the cornerstone of Nepal’s agricultural sector, both in terms of production and land area dedicated to its cultivation. However, with a population growth rate of 2.25%, current rice production and productivity are insufficient to meet the increasing demand in the coming years. Since expanding the cultivated area is no longer a viable solution, enhancing rice yield is the only feasible path forward. To address this challenge, increasing yield potential is essential. In line with this, the National Seed Vision 2013–2025 emphasis the importance of hybrid rice, setting a target to release at least eight hybrid varieties by 2025. In response to this national goal, the Nepal Agricultural Research Council has released Hardinath Hybrid-1, Nepal’s first-ever hybrid rice variety. This hybrid rice is characterized by high yielding with fine grain and medium maturity which fits in rice-vegetable cropping system. This development paves the way for improved rice production and greater food security for the nation.
