FIELDTIPS
Domestic variety with a kernel that has high
amylose content, comparable to Carnaroli.
Poseidone matures much earlier than traditional
domestic varieties, and behaves very well in
late-sowing conditions.
Poseidone has always maintained a high
production yield without compromising
the quality of the product.
Its stem is much smaller than that of Arborio
and Carnaroli which reduces the risk of bending,
and facilitates cultivation.Fungicide treatments
are recommended.
