[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The National Seed Management Office announced on the 16th that applications for 155 tons of government-supplied rye seeds will be accepted twice: from the 22nd of this month to July 9th, and from July 19th to September 10th.

All Gogu rye seeds will be supplied without disinfection. The supply price will be finalized and notified in July. Last year's supply price was 41,730 KRW per 20kg unit.

Government-supplied seeds are guaranteed by the state under the Seed Industry Act. They have undergone packaging inspection and seed inspection, contain no other varieties, and have a germination rate of 85% or higher.

The Gogu variety to be supplied this time was developed by the Rural Development Administration. It is cold-resistant, has disease resistance to powdery mildew and leaf rust, and is an early-maturing variety.

Farmers who wish to receive rye seeds can get guidance through their city or county agricultural technology centers or the National Seed Management Office.
