Ozark Rice
$36.00
Growers often choose Ozark when they want a non-GMO, conventional rice that can compete with the yields of newer herbicide-tolerant varieties but at a potentially lower seed cost. It is also popular for wildlife and duck plots because its height and high grain production make it attractive for conservation use.

Description
Ozark is a high-yielding, conventional long-grain rice variety.
Key Characteristics
-
Yield Potential: In Arkansas trials, Ozark has averaged around 182 to 219 bushels per acre. It consistently shows a yield advantage (approx. 10 bu/ac) over its predecessor, Diamond.
-
Plant Height: It is a traditional-stature variety, standing about 43–44 inches tall. Despite its height, it has shown surprising resilience to lodging (falling over) during storms because its stalks stay green and strong.
-
Maturity: It is considered a mid-season variety, reaching 50% heading in about 88–91 days from emergence.
-
Grain Quality: It produces slender kernels with a length of approximately 7.45 mm. It is known for having low chalk and very white appearances when cooked.
-
Disease Resistance
Ozark is agronomically strong but requires careful management regarding disease:
-
Susceptible: It is susceptible to Leaf Blast, Neck Blast, Sheath Blight, and Bacterial Panicle Blight.
-
Moderately Resistant: It shows better tolerance than some other varieties to Straighthead and Narrow Brown Leaf Spot.
-
Smut: It has shown slightly less infection from False Smut compared to Diamond.
