Amaura Upland Rice is a landrace from either Uzbekistan or Russia. It is an early maturing variety that sends its grain heads out from its flag leaves over a week earlier than Duborskian.
Amaura reportedly is capable of producing mature seeds upon ratooning; we intend to investigate this property.
Our initial seed stocks came from Sherck Seeds in Indiana.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind, rice seed is hulled. Rice is planted in its hull but after harvest, that hull must be removed before eating. De-hulling rice is not easily achieved by hand, requiring mechanical assistance such as the Brill De-huller or an electric de-huller.
