The viability of hybrid rice seeds can now be prolonged up to nine months by storing them in hermetic seed storage enclosures, according to results of a study conducted by researchers at PhilRice (Philippine Rice Research Institute) and BPRE (Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension).


In the past, farmers were meeting problems on the low germination rate of hybrid rice seeds provided to them by the Department of Agriculture, as these were stored under ordinary storage conditions.
