rain and milled rice quality, cooking properties. Grain is medium-sized, round.
Caryopsis length to breadth ratio
(l/b ): 1.7. 1000 grain weight: 28–29 g. Grain translu-
cency: 87–91 %; total milled rice: 71 %, head rice: 65–71 %. Amylose content: 18.7 %,
protein content: 9.1 %. Milled rice is pale grey, characterized by low hardness. While
cooking kernels fissure and form semi-loose porridge. The variety is recommended
for canning and cooking soups.
Tolerance to environmental stress factors. Plants are tolerant to blast so the
variety can be grown without crop protection chemicals. It has high lodging tolerance.
Atlant does not shatter even in case of overmature stand, but can be easily threshed out.
Yield capacity. Yield potential is 9–10 t/ha.
Individual characteristics. Atlant has high growth rates at the emergence stage.
Plants can easily pull through the water layer up to 30 cm. Under decreased seeding
rate the variety forms a good shrub and a rather dense stand.
The variety can produce stably high yield under relatively low mineral nutrition,
especially nitrogen nutrition.
While ripening grain is not tolerant to high temperatures and low relative air humidity.
The intensity of fissure formation increases at 17 % of grain moisture.
