The IR8 rice variety allowed self-sufficiency to India
Next 28 November marks 50 years since the release of the variety that allowed for a leap in rice production in Asia and set a milestone for what would be the beginning of the Green Revolution around the world: variety IR8. In 1960 the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), led by Robert Chandler…
IR8 was different. It married a tall high-yielding strain from Indonesia (PETA) with a sturdy dwarf variety from China (DGWG) with astounding results.
Mexico´s 6,200 rice growers hope that the rice sector can witness a new miracle, which will not come from the Philippines this time, but from the joint efforts of a sector that believes in the future.
The study applied various crop phenology models to observe how varying temperatures affect the shifts in different growth stages of rice.
The two parties have been holding a series of meetings aimed at further fleshing out the collaboration of their scientists as they discussed the implementation of new set of collaborative research programs for Thailand supported by the Thai government.
A team of scientists from eight countries at the International Rice Research Institute in Los Banos, Philippines is genetically modifying certain strains of rice to reduce the amount of water required to grow the rice.
