WHEAT 306

Wheat C-306 (commonly known as Sharbati C-306 or Sujata) is a legendary, premium heirloom wheat variety in India. Released in 1965 by Haryana Agricultural University (HAU), it is widely considered the "gold standard" for making chapatis due to its exceptional quality, sweet taste, and nutritional profile.
-Heritage & Popular Name: Released by Indian agricultural research in 1965, C-306 is considered a benchmark traditional variety. It is widely celebrated across India (especially in Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan) as the king of Sharbati / Desi wheat.
-Grain Characteristics: The grains are large, bold, hard, amber-golden in color, and naturally lustrous. They have high protein content, gluten strength, and high natural sweetness (sucrose/glucose levels) compared to standard modern hybrid wheats.
-Chapati/Roti Quality: It is globally renowned for producing exceptionally soft, tasty, and naturally sweet rotis that remain soft for several hours after cooking.
-Agronomic Features:
1. Drought Resistance: It is a tall, rain-fed variety that thrives well in low-water/unirrigated or semi-irrigated conditions.
2. Maturity: Takes around 135–150 days to mature.
3. Yield: Yields around 10–15 quintals per acre (approx. 35–45 quintals per hectare under proper irrigation).
-Market Status: Due to its lower yields compared to modern high-volume hybrids and its superior culinary quality, C-306 commands a high market premium among consumers and organic farmers.
