NLR 3354 (Nellore Dhanyarasi): A short duration fine grain, blast tolerant rice culture for Andhra Pradesh
Abstract
Abstract
The culture NLR 3354 is a cross derivative of NLR 34242 x NLR 34303 which was released during 2019 by SVRC, Andhra Pradesh with 120-125 days duration, high yielding ability and better adaptability. This culture with semi dwarf stature has efficient tillering capacity, medium droopy panicles with highly acceptable plant characters and is a good replacement for the rice variety NLR 34449 due to its high grain yield and pest and disease tolerance ability. It possess tolerance to leaf and neck blast. It recorded an average yield of 6410 kg/ha over the check of 5799 kg/ha in different trials conducted for a period of 9 years. It produces good quality cooked rice besides high milling and head rice recovery. It produces medium slender white rice with intermediate amylose, soft gel consistency and moderate gelatinization temperature. It produces good quality cooked rice besides high milling and head rice recovery.
