INIAP11, and Bluebonn<strong>et</strong> 50 had the s<strong>of</strong>test cooked rice. Vari<strong>et</strong>ies had<br />

more long than medium grains and more medium- than slendershaped<br />

grains. Brasileiro and Chato Serrano had shorter grains than<br />

the other vari<strong>et</strong>ies.<br />

Length and width <strong>of</strong> grain were correlated ( r = –0.59*, n = 17).<br />

Cooked rice hardness correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.66**)<br />

and consistency ( r = 0.77**), protein content ( r = –0.63**), and AC<br />

( r = 0.55*). Amylose content correlated with Amylograph peak<br />

viscosity ( r = 0.72**), s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.59*) and consistency ( r = 0.78**), GC<br />

( r = –0.73**), and protein content ( r = -0.80**). Gel consistency correlated<br />

with Amylograph peak viscosity ( r = -0.67**), s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = –0.60*)<br />

and consistency ( r = –0.71*). Protein content correlated with Amylograph<br />

peak viscosity ( r = –0.53*), s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = –0.56*) and consistency<br />

( r = –0.69**).<br />

Guyana<br />

G<br />

uyana produced 203,000 t <strong>of</strong> rough rice in 1989 (FAO 1990b).<br />

Annu<strong>al</strong> consumption was 87 kg <strong>of</strong> milled rice per capita in<br />

1979-81 (FAO 1984) and 85 kg in 1986-88 (FAO 1990a). Vari<strong>et</strong>ies<br />

N and S (introduced in the early 1970s), Rustic, and Champion<br />

occupied 57% <strong>of</strong> the rice area in 1981 (D<strong>al</strong>rymple 1986). A mark<strong>et</strong><br />

sample <strong>of</strong> long-grained rice had 24% AC and low GT (RCMD 1989).<br />

Guyana rices had high-intermediate AC, low-intermediate GT,<br />

and mainly hard GC (Table 6). Rustic, Champion, and vari<strong>et</strong>ies N and<br />

S had high AC, low GT, and hard GC (Appendix). Vari<strong>et</strong>ies N and S had<br />

harder cooked rice than Rustic and Champion. Bluebelle, Starbonn<strong>et</strong>,<br />

and vari<strong>et</strong>y T had intermediate AC and GT and medium-hard GC.<br />

<strong>Grain</strong> length varied from extra long to medium, but most were long<br />

and slender. Only cooked rice hardness and <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue<br />

were significantly correlated ( r = 0.68*, n = 10).<br />

Paraguay<br />

P<br />

araguay<br />

produced 88,000 t <strong>of</strong> rough rice in 1989 (FAO 1990b).<br />

Annu<strong>al</strong> consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice was 12 kg per capita in 1979-<br />

81 (FAO 1984) and 13 kg in 1986-88 (FAO 1990a). About 63%<br />

<strong>of</strong> the tot<strong>al</strong> rice area was planted with CICA vari<strong>et</strong>ies during the 1981-<br />

82 season (D<strong>al</strong>rymple 1986).<br />
