Hybrid rice in China generally yields more grain than inbred rice. Indica hybrid rice has 11.72% higher yield than indica inbred rice, while japonica hybrid rice has 6.91% higher yield than japonica inbred rice. Hybrid rice also tends to have better quality, with lower chalky rice rate and chalkiness compared to inbred rice. Improving chalky rice rate and chalkiness is crucial for both types of hybrid rice, while indica hybrid rice should focus on gel consistency and indica inbred rice on amylose content.
