The method used is direct observation of both qualitative and quantitative characteristics of rice.Long grain size of rice is a character that can indicate the distinguishing of local rice, domestic superior and ricefrom abroad. Character of rice morphology is a character very easily observed in knowing the difference of ricevarieties. Character of rice morphology are easily characters observed in knowing the difference of rice varieties.Characters difference can be used to determine the adulteration of rice mixed.
