- Stem Rot Score (worst=10, best=1): 6.7
- Height (in): 37.3 (95 cm)

- Comments:
- Premium quality rice with large kernels. An early maturing mutant
of M-401 (heads 17 days earlier). Susceptible to blanking and has
weak straw. Reduced nitrogen is necessary to prevent lodging. Not
a substitute for M-201 nor M-202. Yields 15% below M-202. Most
susceptible to stem rot. Grain and milling yields lower than other medium grains.
