‘조생흑찰’은 작물과학원 영남농업연구소(현 국립식량과학원 기능성작물부)에서 2004년도에 육성한 조생 흑자색 찰벼 품종으로 주요특성과 수량성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 남부평야지 평균 출수기는 8월 3일로 조생종이며 간장은 65 cm정도이고 현미외관은 흑자색인 찰벼 품종이다. 2. 불시 출수율이 일반 조생종 품종과 비슷한 수준이며, 위조는 강한 편이고 성숙기의 엽노화가 느린 편이며, 내냉성은 ‘흑남벼’와 비슷한 정도의 내냉성을 가지고 있으며 수발아는
‘Josaengheugchal’, a new blackish purple pigmented glutinous japonica rice cultivar, was developed by the rice breeding team of Department of Functional Crop, NICS, RDA in 2004. This cultivar was derived from a cross between ‘Tohoku 149’ as black glutinous source and ‘Sx 864’ as purple colored rice in 1992 and 1993 winter season, and selected by pedigree breeding method until F6 generation. As a result, a promising line, YR15907-6-8-1-5, was advanced and designated as the name of ‘Milyang 194’ in 2001. The local adaptability test of ‘Milyang 194’ was carried out at seven locations from 2002 to 2004 and it was named as ‘Josaengheugchal’. ‘Josaengheugchal’ is an early maturing cultivar and has 71 cm culm height. It has higher anthocyanian content compared with ‘Heugnambyeo’. It is moderately resistant to leaf blast but susceptible to other disease and insect pests. The yield potential of ‘Josaengheugchal’ in brown rice was about 4.21 MT/ha at ordinary fertilizer level in local adaptability test. This cultivar would be adaptable to the plain paddy field of middle, Honam, and Yeomgnam in Korea under ordinary and double cropping system.
