Krepysh

Stable yields with protection against rice blast

The 'Krepysh' rice variety, developed by the Federal Rice Research Center, is specifically bred to address one of the greatest challenges in rice farming: losses caused by rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae). In regions with high humidity and significant disease pressure, this variety demonstrates strong resistance, enabling farmers to reduce the number of fungicide applications and lower overall production costs.

Agrotechnological profile

Classified as an intensive variety, it responds efficiently to fertilizer applications. The main practical advantage of 'Krepysh' lies in its versatile application:

• Processing flexibility: The variety is suitable for both high-grade culinary rice production and specialized industrial milling.
• Grain integrity: Whether dealing with round or long-grain phenotypes, the variety maintains structural consistency during polishing, which is critical for minimizing the percentage of broken rice and maximizing high-quality yield.

Strategic field application

Choosing 'Krepysh' is a strategic decision for farms in high-risk infection zones. Utilizing this variety allows operators to:

• Simplify field management by reducing dependence on climatic conditions during the second half of the growing season.
• Produce grain with excellent organoleptic properties that meet consumer demand for high-quality table rice.
• Optimize plant protection budgets by focusing resources on nutritional management rather than reactive disease control.
