๐ผ We record the date at which approximately 50% of the panicles within the plot are flowering

After milling, samples are run through the Seed Analyser. This machine measures grain dimensions, wholegrain %, cracks and chalkiness. ๐

Thanks @LeetonRotary for your second visit to our facilities. This time we were able to show our processing area and explain more of what goes on behind the scenes at Rice Breeding Australia.

And just like that the glasshouse is full again. During the last few weeks we have resown SSDโs, sown a seed increase for seed destined for the paddock next season and completed sowing the next big crossing block.
