Program Overview
|
The Rice Varietal Improvement Program develops new rice varieties for production in the Southern U.S. These cultivars are improved for production traits like yield potential, disease resistance, lodging resistance, maturity, second crop potential, and tolerance to insect pressure. They also have high milling quality and specific cooking and processing characteristics as required by the rice industry. |
