Abstract:

This paper presents the results of head rice yield research of rice varieties and genotypes grown in the Republic of Macedonia,
conducted within the period 2009-2014. In total sixteen varieties and five genotypes were included, of which three
Macedonian varieties (Biser 2, Prima riska and Montesa), three introduced Italian varieties, the most widely used in Macedonian
rice production (Monticelli, R-76/6 and San Andrea), five newly introduced Italian varieties (Bianca, Galileo, Brio, Ellebi and
Opale), five newly introduced Turkish varieties (Kiziltan, Gala, Halilbey, Gönen and Pasali) and five newly bred Macedonian
rice genotypes (P1 x M, P2 x M, P x MM, MBL x M and MBL x MM). Laboratory milling was performed on a paddy quality
testing machine to determine the head rice yield and byproducts of milling: brokens, brans and husks. According to the results,
the highest head rice yield (percent of whole grains after milling rough rice kernels) of the domestic varieties was achieved in
Biser-2 (54.01%), while the lowest was in Prima riska (49.38%). The highest head rice yield of the prevalent Italian varieties was
59,68% (Monticelli) ant the lowest one was 43.35% (San Andrea). Regarding the newly introduced Italian varieties, the values
for the head rice yield were from 35.4% (Galileo) to 64.46% (Ellebi). Among Turkish varieties, Kiziltan showed the highest head
rice yield (62,67%) and Gönen the lowest (43.34%). In the newly bred Macedonian rice genotypes, the head rice yield was from
55.60% (P1 x M) to 63.77% (P x MM). The percentage of brokens, bran and hulls in all investigated varieties and genotypes
varied in different years of production
