Evaluating Potential Rice Varieties from University and Industry ...

Table 4. Summary of economic performance based on main, ratoon and total yield as well as milling and grade when planted March 19,
2003 at Eagle Lake and April 1, 2003 at Beaumont. Varieties are listed in order of decreasing total crop net returns/A. Parentheses in the
main and ratoon columns indicate the varieties relative economic rank. See Appendix Tables C-2 and C-3 which show the main crop and
ratoon crop yields and milling yield used to calculate net value/A. Appendix Table C-1 shows variety support and premium price for main
crop

Numbers in ( ) indicate economic ranking for main or ratoon crops. A varieties economic rank reflects variety yield and milling for main, ratoon or total crop
yield in 2003.
