Processo eficiente para produção de mudas para progênies de arroz

[摘要] A description is given of a new method for the production of seedlings in planting of rice strains. This method has been used these three last years in connection with the improvement work on rice in the "Instituto Agronômico". Perforated cylinders, 14 cm high and 18 cm diameter, are distributed over the seed bed and the seeds of each strain sown inside. A week afterwards the cylinders are pulled up and used again. With this method seedlings are obtained with great facility and perfect separation between strains thus avoiding mixture of seeds.
