Morphological and industrial characteristics in rice cultivars “Vinces UG-03” and “Vinces UG-10” on the Ecuadorian coast

The University of Guayaquil, following the outlines of the country's agricultural policy, through the Vinces support center of the University of Guayaquil, carried out two research projects for the development of new varieties of rice; From this, two varieties called “Vinces UG-03” and “Vinces UG-10” were obtained. The objective of this research was to evaluate the morphology and industrial characteristics of two varieties of rice. A completely randomized block design was used with five treatments and four repetitions; an analysis of variance was performed to compare means using the Duncan test (p=<0,05). Agronomic and industrial parameters were evaluated in accordance with the “UPOV” International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants protocol. According to the results, it was determined that the variety “Vinces UG-03” in the variables: panicle: length (cm), caryopsis at maturity: length with shell (mm), caryopsis at maturity: width with shell (mm) , caryopsis at maturity: weight of a thousand grains with shell (grams), quality: industrial quality: proteins (%) and industrial quality: yield (%) presented the highest averages, which means that this variety has distinctive characters that would provide to agro-productive and industrial rice development.
