The temperate areas of Poonch district are popular for growing rajmash, as intercrop with maize. The traditional rajmash variety (local loran) has a yield potential of 4 quintals per hectare in mixed cropping. However, there is a promising variety (BR-104) which has a yield potential of 6.0 quintals per hectare in mixed cropping. Moreover, this variety has typical aroma and taste and is preferred for consumption by the people of J&K. The trials of variety BR-104, were therefore conducted which recorded an average yield of 3.60 q/ha with benefit-cost ratio of 2.64, as compared to local check of just 2.34.
