FIELDTIPS
Always ready for new challenges, Almo has
conquered the market of Spanish paella with Medea.
Medea is the new variety of medium grain, pearled
with high amylose content suitable for preparing
niche dishes such as Paella.
It has good agronomic characteristics, is resistant
to bending and pecky rice and other major
rice-seedling diseases.
At least one fungicide treatment is recommended
to produce a high quality product, especially
in unfavourable rice growing environments.
