Himgiri (HS 375) is a wheat variety that was developed through hybridization and selection for its ability to resist disease as well as the leaf and stripe rust pathogens.
It is suitable for rainfed and timely sown conditions.
The two most prevalent Himgiri varieties are HS-375 and HS375.
On irrigated or rain-fed land, HS-375 is made. It is a Himgiri hybrid with medium fertility and late sown, whereas HS375 is made at a very high altitude in the northern Himalayas and Garhwal region.
"Himgiri" is immune to hill bunt and leaf and stripe rust.
