It is a low input tall variety (135-140 cm) released in 1987, specially suitable for late transplantation after the flood water recedes which helps the rehabilitation of the people of flood prone areas.
This variety can be grown even on natural precipitation. More straw may be obtained by cultivation of Binasail. Maturity period ranges between 135-140 days.
Moreover, it matures 2-4 weeks earlier if transplantation is done in optimum time, which also facilitates growing of early winter crops. Maximum grain yield potential is 5.0 t/ha (av. 4.2 t/ha) if transplantation is done in normal time, while at late transplantation, grain yield ranges between 3.0 and 3.5 t/ha. Husking recovery of grains is more than many other rice varieties. Grains are medium fine with good cooking quality.
