AHAANA PAN 849

AHAANA PAN 849 — A reliable, long-slender paddy variety for high-yield irrigated systems

Introduction

For farmers and agri-businesses seeking a dependable hybrid paddy that balances yield potential, grain quality and disease resilience, AHANA PAN 849 is emerging as a popular choice in eastern India.

 Marketed by Pan Seeds, this variety targets irrigated Kharif and Boro systems and is positioned for growers who want long-slender grain with good milling recovery and manageable crop duration.

Key agronomic specs 

• Crop duration: 115–120 days. 

• Plant height: ~110–115 cm. 

• Panicle length: ~26–27 cm; grain type: long-slender. 

• Disease reaction: Reported as Moderately Resistant (MR) to BLB and resistant/tolerant to blast in company literature and product listings. 

• Seed packaging / market price: commonly sold in 1 kg and 3 kg packs (example listing shows ₹149 for 1 kg and ₹409 for 3 kg). 

Why growers choose AHANA PAN 849

Growers and field demonstrations highlight three practical advantages: 

A medium-short crop duration (115–120 days) that allows timely harvesting and fitment into crop rotations, a plant structure suited to mechanised or manual transplanting, and long slender grains that command preference for milling and market appeal. Company posts and farmer feedback videos indicate consistent tillering, long panicles and satisfactory head-rice recovery — qualities that translate into better milling value and farmgate returns when combined with good crop management. 

Performance and target environments

AHANA PAN 849 is primarily intended for irrigated rice production — both Kharif (monsoon) and Boro/Rabi (irrigated dry season) in eastern and northeastern rice belts. 

It performs best on fertile, well-drained to medium-heavy soils with assured irrigation. It is NOT marketed as a drought-tolerant variety, so water management is important for achieving the varietal yield potential.

 

Practical cultivation tips

• Nursery & transplanting: Raise seedlings for ~25–30 days and transplant at the active tillering      stage.

• Spacing & plant population: Aim for standard row spacing (≈20–25 cm between rows) and healthy hill populations to encourage tillering without excessive competition.

• Fertilizer & nutrition: Apply balanced NPK according to soil test recommendations; high-yielding hybrids respond well to split nitrogen applications and micronutrient support (Zn, B) where deficient.

• Water management: Maintain standing water during early vegetative growth, then manage water carefully during reproductive stage; alternate wetting and drying can save water in Boro while maintaining yields.

These are general best-practice recommendations for high-yield paddy hybrids and align with on-farm guidance seen in Pan Seeds materials and farmer videos. 

Market & sourcing

AHANA PAN 849 seed is sold through Pan Seeds’ distribution network and online seed retailers. Sample retail listings show 1-kg and 3-kg retail packets; farmers should source certified seed from authorised dealers to ensure true-to-type performance. For current availability and local dealer contacts, check Pan Seeds’ product pages and authorised e-retailers. 

Closing note / call to action

If you’re evaluating varieties for the coming Kharif or Boro season and your farm has assured irrigation, AHANA PAN 849 is worth a field trial on 0.1–0.5 acre to compare against your current cultivar. Reach out to your local Pan Seeds dealer, review recent farmer feedback videos and, where possible, inspect a demonstration plot before scaling up.
