Problem

Low Yields: Inadequate farming practices and unpredictable climate contribute to suboptimal rice yields, affecting food security.

Insufficient Milling Percentage: Suboptimal rice milling results in economic losses, compromising market value and consumer satisfaction.

Reduced Tolerance to Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB): Vulnerability to BLB poses a significant threat, leading to substantial yield losses and highlighting the need for enhanced tolerance.

Susceptibility to Blast Disease: Blast disease, caused by Pyricularia fungi, remains a major concern. Current rice varieties lack the necessary resistance, resulting in significant crop losses.

Solution

High Yields: Achieving up to 10 MT/ha, surpassing the challenge of low rice yields and enhancing food security.

Optimal Milling Percentage: Boasting a milling percentage above 70%, this variety mitigates economic losses and improves market value.

Robust Tolerance to Diseases: Engineered to resist both Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) and blast diseases, overcoming vulnerabilities in traditional rice crops.

Non-Sticky for Superior Cooking Quality: The non-sticky nature addresses cooking quality concerns, offering a delightful culinary experience.

Elimination of Chalkiness: Overcoming chalkiness issues, ensuring a visually appealing and marketable rice product.

Intermediate Amylose Content: Balancing amylose levels, this variety provides a desirable texture, addressing the challenge of suboptimal rice quality.
