Rice varieties differences in grain form, size, and weight affect percentage of brokens after milling. That determines milling recovery, percentage of head rice, and price. Moisture content of 36 varieties and lines was measured, then hulled 140-g grain samples with a small Satake rubber roll rice hulling machine (THU 35A). The experiment design was completely randomized with four replications. Of the varieties tested, 13 had more than 80% head rice. Among them are four lines not yet released -M61b-28-3-5, IR4427-85-2-1, B4180F-30-NG-4-2, and IR4427-5-6-3. IR56 had the lowest head rice percentage.
