Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at RDRS Bangladesh farm, Monthana, Rangpur, Bangladesh
during July to December 2016 to evaluate the yield performance of seven aromatic rice varieties
of Bangladesh viz. Jirakatari, Chiniatab, Chinigura, Kataribhog, Kalizara, Badshabhog and BRRI
dhan34. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three
replications. The entire yield contributing attributes and quality parameters varied significantly
among the aromatic rice varieties. The highest plant height (167.0 cm) was found in the variety
Chinigura and the lowest (120.1 cm) in the variety Chiniatab. In the variety Kataribhog
number of filled grains panicle-1
was found highest (255.6) and the lowest (130.7) was
recorded in the variety Badshabhog. Badshabhog produced the highest 1000-grain weight (18.3
g) and the lowest (11.4 g) was recorded from the variety Kataribhog. The highest grain yield
(2.54 t ha-1
) was obtained from Kataribhog and the lowest grain yield (1.83 t ha-1
) was obtained
from Kalizara. Among the seven aromatic rice varieties under North-west condition Kataribhog
and BRRI dhan34 are suitable in respect of yield. |
