It's also called locally to be gone 18 But it is actually an area variety. So it has also the iridesignation IRRI 154 Now, why did we choose this? It can yield with good management easily six seven maybe even more tons per hectare And it is a relatively new variety we place a lot of emphasis on this because More recently released varieties are better adapted to the current climate and they can therefore have Better adaptation to the year potential situation the environment that we have nowadays This variety was released in 2010 and that just that factor using a more recent variety can often give a year to monitor five to ten percent And they can tell you Okay, well we began with certified seed now this seed has been germination germination tested and attested at greater than 90% It was soaked put in water 36 36 hours ago and Then drained about 16 or 17 hours ago and incubated for that length of time. It's it's got a short Root and I even on some it's got a short shoot already So this is about ideal For using a drum seeder, but we'll touch on shortly the root and shoot could be a little bit longer and it'll still be okay So we've got a few hours to spare Which might be helpful. Yeah and the seed is ready
