Rice LEZGINKA

The Lezginka rice variety is a late-maturing italica type with a vegetation period of 125 to 130 days. This variety is characterized by medium stem length and a long, curved panicle, which gives the plant stability against lodging. The grains are large-grained, long, and spindle-shaped; the weight of 1000 grains ranges from 35 to 42 grams, ensuring high-quality raw material for culinary use.

Lezginka is distinguished by high yield, reaching an average of 75.2 centners per hectare in the Krasnodar Krai, with maximum indicators reaching up to 91.5 centners. The variety is resistant to shattering, which significantly reduces losses during harvesting, and exceeds the standard Kachaok 4 in this regard. Additionally, Lezginka has good resistance to pyricularia, enhancing cultivation reliability in the region's conditions.

The technological and culinary properties of the Lezginka variety are recognized as excellent, making it in demand for various cooking methods. Rice is suitable for cultivation in Krasnodar Krai and other regions of the North Caucasus District, where it demonstrates stable yield and quality indicators. The absence or weak pubescence on the blade of the penultimate leaf and the absence of anthocyanin pigmentation in the awns are additional variety characteristics.
