About this variety
Kahikuchi is a selection released by Assam Agricultural University, developed and tested specifically for Assam's growing conditions rather than adapted from the coastal Karnataka/Kerala breeding programmes that produced most of CPCRI's major selections. It is the standard local recommendation for growers in the state, reflecting decades of regional testing rather than a transplant from a different growing environment.
