Thai rice / Variety reference

KDML105

ขาวดอกมะลิ 105

Plan around day length as well as crop age.

What this means for your programme

A November harvest description belongs to the source setting. It is not a fixed duration after planting, and a generic GDD total cannot replace the photoperiod response.

Planning interpretation by soil.ag, based on the profile below.

Where it fits

Northeast and upper North. Aromatic grain; some drought tolerance and acid/saline-soil adaptation reported without stress thresholds.

What to watch

Weak straw. Susceptible to orange-leaf disease, bacterial leaf blight, blast, ragged stunt, brown planthopper, green leafhopper and stem borers.

These are historical variety descriptions. Check local scouting and current advice; a resistance claim does not rule out a problem in your field.

Use the calendar correctly

Around 25 November in the source setting. Source calendar date; not a fixed duration after planting.

Record sowing, transplanting and observed stages separately so comparisons use the same clock.

What does the yield reference tell us?

Official release-profile yield reference; site, season, input treatment and grain moisture are not fully specified here. Not a national average, field forecast or promised yield.

A yield figure alone does not identify the right fertilizer rate. Compare records with their soil, water, inputs and harvest basis attached.

Can I use GDD for this variety?

Day length is part of this variety’s development. Accumulated heat can describe the season, but a single GDD total cannot substitute for its photoperiod response.
