Find the Right Rice Variety for Your Farm

Pick your kind of farm first, then how long you can wait for harvest and the pests and diseases you fear most. Each card shows the days to harvest, the average yield and the best trial yield, in tonnes per hectare, and opens the variety's full page.

442 of 442 varieties

The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.

What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.

So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How to Read a Rice Variety's Numbers

Every card and page shows the same few numbers. Here is what each one tells you before you buy seed.

Days to harvest

Counted from sowing. Varieties of 100 to 120 days count as short duration and 120 to 140 as medium. A direct seeded crop is often ready a week sooner than a transplanted one.

Average and top yield

The average is what the variety gave across trials, in tonnes per hectare. The top is its best trial, with ideal care. One tonne is about 20 cavans of 50 kilograms.

Pest and disease ratings

R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. I is intermediate. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage, so scout it often.

Amylose and grain

Amylose decides how rice cooks: low is soft, intermediate is soft but not sticky, high is firm. Head rice is the share of whole grains after milling.

Plan Your Variety's Whole Season

Once you pick a variety, anee.io dates every task from each lot's own planting day, from land preparation to harvest, and Anee, your smart farm technician, can research the varieties that suit your town.

Questions About Rice Varieties

What is the best rice variety in the Philippines?

There is no single best one. The best variety is the one bred for your kind of farm, your season and the pests in your area. Start with the filters above: pick your farm type, how many days you can wait for harvest and the problems you fear most, then compare the average yields. Your municipal agriculturist knows which ones do well in your town.

What do the NSIC and PSB numbers mean?

NSIC is the National Seed Industry Council, which approves rice varieties for planting in the Philippines. Before it, the Philippine Seed Board (PSB) did the job. Rc stands for rice, and a number ending in H marks a hybrid. So NSIC Rc 222 is an inbred, and NSIC Rc 204H is a hybrid.

What does this rice variety list show?

Every released rice variety, with its maturity, yields, pest and disease ratings, grain quality, season and regions, and the brand names it is sold under, with links to the seed companies' own pages. The words on our pages are our own.

Are hybrid rice varieties better than inbreds?

In the trials the irrigated hybrids average 6.9 tonnes per hectare, against 5.2 for the irrigated inbreds. But you must buy new hybrid seed every season, and hybrids need good water and fertilizer to give that much. Inbreds cost less, and their seed grows true. Compare both kinds above with the Type filter.

Why does my seed bag show a brand name and not an NSIC number?

Seed companies sell their varieties under their own brand names, while each is registered under its NSIC number. They are the same seed. Type the brand name into the search box above, and the card shows the NSIC number with its numbers.

Which rice varieties are for saline or flood prone fields?

Use the Kind of farm filter. Saline prone varieties are bred to stand salt in the soil, and flood prone ones to survive a spell under water. They yield less than irrigated varieties on good land: the saline prone ones average 2.9 tonnes per hectare, because they are bred to survive where others fail.

The words and pictures are anee.io's own. Some of the newest releases, up to 2026, have no days to harvest or yield listed yet: ask your municipal agriculturist for their regional trial results.
