Paryan’s novel rice technology, FullPage®, represents a new generation of climate-friendly solutions for rice cultivation.

 Mahyco Private Limited has signed up with Paryan as its technology partner in India through a licensing agreement for next-generation rice technology. Paryan’s novel rice technology, FullPage®, represents a new generation of climate-friendly solutions for rice cultivation. It reduces dependency on water, improves yields by controlling weeds more effectively, all at significant cost saving to rice farmers. With rice being the largest cultivated crop in India, covering more than 44 million hectares, the FullPage rice cropping solution has the potential to significantly reduce methane emissions associated with traditional rice cultivation methods.

Together, we are paving the way for a more productive, sustainable, and technologically empowered Rice farming future. The quick adoption and scale up of this innovation by forward looking partners like Mahyco will dramatically increase the sustainability of rice farming in India.

Paryan Alliance Limited is a Joint Venture between RiceTech, USA, and Mahyco, India. Paryan is driven by a vision to advance Indian agriculture through cutting edge climate smart technologies. With a mission to enhance the environmental sustainability of agriculture, Paryan aims to transform the Indian farming sector with sustainable solutions to improve crop productivity, while promoting climate resilient agriculture.

The proactive adoption of such innovations by forward-thinking companies like Mahyco is essential for scaling sustainable practices.

In the case of HT rice, the technology that the JV will commercialise is called ‘FullPage’ which is a new generation double stack mutant herbicide-tolerant rice technology.

Leading Seed company, Mahyco announced that company has formed a 50:50 joint venture with US-based seeds company ‘RiceTec’ called ‘Paryan’ to introduce environment-friendly non-GMO herbicide tolerant (HT) rice and wheat varieties for Indian farmers.

The Joint venture which is one among the many that Mahyco has entered with a global seeds company after the highly successful one with Monsanto — will be for licensing of HT traits and HT traited hybrids and varieties across rice and wheat to seed companies, each of whom will introduce these technologies into their varieties of seeds.

The rice and wheat hybrids and varieties from these technologies are resistant to the commonly used broad-spectrum herbicide called ‘imazethapyr’. The promoters claimed that farmers can freely use the herbicide ‘imazethapyr’ without the fear of plants turning yellow which makes them ideal for direct seeding without the fear of weeds. While the wheat varieties are suitable for zero-tillage cultivation.

In the case of HT rice, the technology that the JV will commercialise is called ‘FullPage’ which is a new generation double stack mutant herbicide-tolerant rice technology.

And, in the case of wheat, the technology is called the ‘FreeHit’system which is also a unique double-stacked herbicide tolerant mutant in specially bred wheat varieties and specially formulated herbicide that will help farmers control weeds and increase yields.

In the case of HT rice, the
