Straw yield key to boosting aromatic rice production, study finds.
The study looked at 45 types of aromatic rice to see how different traits affect the yield of rice plants. They found that traits like straw yield, number of grains per panicle, and productive tillers per plant were closely linked to higher grain yield. By focusing on improving straw yield, number of tillers, and days to maturity, farmers can increase their rice harvest. This research helps us understand which characteristics are most important for growing more rice.
