2026 Abstract - MULTI-YEAR PERFORMANCE DATA WITH RICETEC'S PORTFOLIO: RiceTec’s hybrid rice has been a cornerstone of many rice farms in the Mid-South over the last 26 years. Replicated Field Yield Trials (RFYTs) have been conducted throughout the Mid-South and Gulf Coast rice growing areas to assess our products across a vast range of geographies, soil types, and growing conditions. RiceTec’s hybrids typically have a significant yield advantage over inbred varieties and have the potential to mill very well. Milling scores are very dependent upon the harvest moisture in the field. Multi-year data shows that RiceTec’s hybrids have excellent milling and yield potential.
