overview

KRL 283 is a salt-tolerant wheat variety released in 2018 for Uttar Pradesh. It yields 58–62 q/ha under normal soils and 45–48 q/ha in sodic soils (pH 9.0–9.3). With a maturity of 134–143 days, tolerance to salinity (6.7 dS/m), and multiple stress resistances, it is a reliable choice for sustainable wheat production in stress-prone areas.
