1 Abbreviations: R=resistant; MR=moderately resistant; MS=moderately susceptible; S=susceptible; VS=very susceptible.

Ratings are based on 2003 and 2004 replicated plot and commercial field data only; should be considered tentative. Source: Dr. Rick Cartwright and Dr. Fleet Lee.

All varieties are considered susceptible to bacterial panicle blight under ideal conditions, although commercial damage has been observed only in Bengal, Cypress and Francis to date. MedArk is also susceptible under commercial conditions in the future.

* Resistance to common strains of the rice blast fungus in Arkansas. Susceptible to an unusual variant strain of the rice blast fungus that has been rare in the field to date or reaction to the variant strain not known at the time of publication.
