Abstract

PSB Rc 74, popularly known as Aklan, is an irrigated lowland rice variety released by the National Seed Industry Council in 1998. In the advanced yield trials it had a yield advantage of 16.1% over IR 72 in six locations and 15.5% and 16.4% over IR 72 and PSB Rc 4 in 20 additional locations, respectively, during the wet season trials. It matures in 115 days with mean plant height of 96 cm, slightly taller than IR 72. Its responses to pests and diseases are comparable to those of IR 72. Its grain has better quality.
