Rice Industry in Hawaii Sees Superior Egyptian Type
An 1909 Hawaii rice study reports the Egyptian-origin seed as the best yet grown in the islands. It yields heavy grain with high milling quality and lower hull loss, outperforming Hawaiian and Japanese varieties. Several other strains show promise, including a Kinshu Japanese type enabling two crops yearly. Pedigree stock could reduce milling losses and boost uniformity, while dry-land rices offer forage value. Fertilizer tests hint at 15-20% grain gains.
