Hi Maria, Hi Nandakumar from India, Hi Luket from California
I'm Clem from agrobuti.it (Italy), I would like to ask you some request. I had tested some upland rice (loto) in the years 2014-2016, here a photo

then I exchanged my result few seeds with a gui in Indiana state in Usa, for Duborskian rice, but after one year, all my rice seeds seems nont more germinable. So regarding your experience, the upland rice seeds (any rice in general) get lost thei germination power just after 1 year?
2) Do you have any very few seeds of Happy Hill rice (I was in Japan in 2020, but the son of Fukuoka had lost his precious Happy Hill upland rice) or any other upland-rice from Laos, Yunnan, Burma, etc, or any other part of the world to re-try the test on a dry land? I like to test it, and if I will get also a litte some seeds, I'm ready to send you back some of it. Let me know at this email:
info@agrobuti.it thanks for any reply
