Super Ratooning Rice Produces High YieldA new species of super ratooning rice has been highly appraised by experts in southeast China's Fujian Province due to its high yield this year.According to statistics from Fujian, the average per hectare yield of the rice exceeded 10,500 kilograms in the first harvest season, and 6,000 kg in the second. The average annual per ha yield surpassed 16,575 kg, while the highest reached 19,564.5 kg. The yield exceeded the national acceptable criteria for super hybrid rice. This species of rice is able to fructify twice a year. Therefore it may bring a higher yield and alleviate the heavy labor otherwise required of farmers. In addition, the quality of the rice also meets the standards set by Chinese Ministry of Agriculture for first-rate quality rice. "This new species of rice has supreme quality as well as great potential for higher yield," an expert said. |
