Rice Agat

Yield Stability and Disease Resistance

The Agat rice variety, developed by the Rice Institute of the NAAS of Ukraine, is designed for producers prioritizing performance in intensive farming systems. Its key differentiator is a robust field resistance to rice blast (pyricularia), a major advantage over many susceptible varieties that require heavy fungicide application. By choosing Agat, farmers significantly lower production costs while maintaining crop health and safety.
