    Adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) is an indigenous crop that can grow up to 3 feet tall and propagates through seeds. It is commonly eaten as a staple food substitute for rice and corn in tropical Asia. The Southern Mindanao Integrated Agricultural Research Center is conducting research on adlay to develop its potential as an alternative food source. Adlay is harvested 120 days after planting by cutting stems one foot from the ground. Each stem can yield 250g of unmilled grains, with potential yields of 2000-4000 kg/ha depending on variety. Ratooning can be done 2-3 times after the main crop harvest.
