FIELDTIPS
Almo’s continuing desire to improve has allowed it to create an outstanding round rice variety for sushi called Castore.
Castore immediately proved to be a variety with exceptional characteristics:
• excellent resistance to bending;
• good production;
• high yield after industrial processing;
• high resistance to pecky rice;
• good adaptability to underground sowing.
Fungicide treatments are recommended to protect the crop, especially if grown in very fertile soil.
