Title: Characterization of Some Aromatic Farmers’ Varieties of Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) from West Bengal and Adjoining States

High magnitude of variability was observed for all the characters under study. High heritability was observed for days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of panicles per plant, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, 100-grain weight, grain length, grain breath and grain yield. The collective contribution of the yield contributing characters resulted in high yield for Rampha, Laldhyapa-1, A-1-1, Kauka, Kalakali and Joha Bora. Khasa, Radhunipagul, Mohanbhog, Gobindobhog, Kalojeera, Badshahbhog, Tulsibhog, Tulaipanji, Bora, Joha Bora, Silathia Bora, Jailung Lal Komal, Ghee Bora, Birai, Kabra, Rampha, Kolajoha-Big, Kolajoha-Small and Konkoni Joha were classified as the FVs having strong aroma. Grain yield showed highly significant positive association with number of panicles per plant, 100-grain weight and grain thickness. Positive direct effect on grain yield/plant was observed in number of panicles/plant, 100-grain weight, and grain length and breadth.Read More
