IR8was low growing, short stemmed variety of rice, meaning that its growing season was shorter than traditional rice plants and it was less prone to damage by strong winds and heavy rains.
The full form of "IR" in IR8 rice is "International Rice." IR8 is a high-yielding variety of rice developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the 1960s. It is known for its ability to produce more grain per plant and its resistance to certain diseases, significantly contributing to food security in Asia.
