New Rice Varieties
‘Ezhome -1’ and ‘Ezhome – 2’ are the first high yielding, and non-lodging organic red rice varieties, for the saline prone Kaipad rice fields of Kerala, with awn-less, non-shattering grains, and favourable cooking qualities better than local cultivars. The average yields of ‘Ezhome -1’ and ‘Ezhome – 2’ are 3.5 tones/ ha and 3.2 tones/ha respectively under close planting and no management conditions of Kaipad. This yield is 70% and 60% more than that of local cultivars. These varieties differ in duration, and are having distinct morphological, qualitative traits, and different mode of salinity tolerance mechanism imparting varietal diversity to the unique ecosystem of Kaipad.
These new seed varieties have been developed by the Kerala Agricultural University with the participation of farmers of Ezhome panchayat. This is the first venture of Kerala Agricultural University in development of a variety i) adopting the combined strategy of Global Breeding (traditional), and Participatory Plant Breeding, and ii) carrying out all stages of variety development directly in the problem area of farmers.[2]
