Red rice is considered the weed that cause the most significam damage to rice fields in the State of Rio Grande does Soul, Brazil. The presence of red rice grains associated with the grains of the commercial rice cultivars contribute to reduce the physical quality of the rice because reduce the milling yield and increase the number of grains chalky and with white pearly. This experiment was developed with the purpose of determining the effect of different quantities of retrace in the sample on the milling yield of three cultivars of irrigated rice with grains fine long class. The treatments consisted of different proportions in the samples (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of grains red rice and grains of the rice cultivars BR-JRGA 410, IRGA 416 and IRGA 417. As the quantity of grains of red rice increased in the sample in the milling process, the whole grain yield and total milling yield decreased linearly, white the yield of broken grains increased linear fly for all cultivars.
