Comments:

L-205 is an early maturing, smooth, semidwarf long grain, with improved milling yield and dry cooking characteristics. Photoperiod insensitive, it heads 2 days later than L-204 and at the same time as L-203. Seedling vigor is slightly weaker and it is about 2 inches taller than L-203 and L-204. It is slightly more susceptible than L-203 and L-204 to stemrot and aggregate sheathspot. Due to cold weather sensitivity, do not grow in the coolest rice areas of California. L-205 seed is smaller and weighs less than L-203 and L-204. L-205 has milling yields similar to L-204 and higher than L-202. Harvest at relatively low moisture content, 16-18%, for maximum head rice. L-205 is suitable for traditional US long-grain markets and for processing (parboiling, soup, noodles).
