SMENA is a mid-season rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety characterized by high resistance to lodging and shattering, ensuring harvest stability and ease of collection. The mass of 1000 grains ranges from 27-29 grams, indicating grain size and quality. The variety is recommended for cultivation in Krasnodar Krai and the North Caucasus region, where average yield reaches 62.1 centners per hectare, which is 2.9 centners higher than standard indicators.
The technological and culinary qualities of the Smena variety are at a high level, making it attractive to both producers and consumers. Additionally, the variety exhibits resistance to pyricularia, one of the most common rice diseases, which reduces the risk of yield loss and enhances its reliability in an agronomic context.
Under conditions of global climate change, rice, including the Smena variety, demonstrates high resilience and minimal yield reduction compared to other crops. This makes it a promising choice for farmers seeking to adapt to new climatic conditions and maintain stable income. Due to its qualities and popularity, Smena rice is one of the leaders in demand among grain crops.
