Special consideration for harvesting hybrid rice

• Harvesting hybrid rice seed production plots is different from harvesting a rice grain crop.

• Harvest the R line first, and then harvest the A line.

• The A line harvest is the only one that can be sold as hybrid seed. The R line harvest may be sold as grain or kept for home use.

• The A line harvest and the R line harvest must be kept separate from each other during harvesting, threshing, drying, and bagging.
