We're
on a journey to identify the best hybrid
The goal of our hybrid research is to select hybrid combinations
that increase value to growers, processors and end-users.
Developing parents is the first step in producing our
superior hybrids. The hundreds of parents we produce result
in thousands of hybrid combinations. All hybrid combinations
are evaluated against five characteristics: grain yield,
milling yield, disease resistance, grain quality and standability.
Our breeding work yields a
constant supply of top quality products. The
followings are the experimental
hybrids currently
in our pipeline:
|
>>Grain
yield is the amount of grain produced in the field.
|
>> Milling yield is the amount of grain remaining
after the grain has been milled.
|
>>Disease resistance is the ability to minimize
the yield effects of common rice diseases.
|
>>Grain quality refers to grain appearance
and cooking properties. These include length, width,
transparency, water absorption, cooking time and
texture.
|
>>Standability is the ability to produce and
hold increasingly heavier loads of grain without
the plant falling to the ground.
