Abstract

In areas of the �??Blas Roca�?� farm belonging to
�??Los Palacios�?� rice agroindustrial enterprise, on a
concretionary nodular Gley soil, in the poorly rainy period of
1998, the behavior of three rice varieties with certain degree of
tolerance to the salinity was studied: INCA LP-7, INCA LP-8,
INCA LP-9 and IACUBA-25 and the commercial variety in
production J-104 as comparison control. The following
quantitative characters were evaluated: final plant height,
panicle length, full grains per panicle, panicles per m2, cycle,
agricultural and industrial yields, as well as the following
qualitative characters: resistance to lodging, shattering,
Pyricularia grisea, kernel spot to mite, observing differences
among treatments. INCA LP-8 variety showed the best
behavior, followed by INCA LP-7, this last one was selected
by producers for its good behavior in front of the mite, to be
extended under these conditions.
