Abstract

The field studies were carried out at Crop Research and Seed Multiplication Farm of the University of Burdwan, Tarabag, Burdwan for field performance of five differentimproved varieties of rice during two consecutive rabi seasons of 2014 and 2015. In order to choose the suitable variety of rice out of five different improved varieties (GB-1, IET 4094, MTU 1010, IET 4786 and GS-3), various yield, yield parameters (plant height, number of effective tillers/hill, length of panicle, number of seeds per panicle, 1000-seed weight) and maturity days were estimated and analyzed statistically. Among all different five improved tested varieties, the variety GB-1 recorded a significant plant height, number of effective tillars/hill, number of seeds/panicle and seed yield followed by GS-3 under old alluvial soil of Burdwan.
