A yield potential study of short grain traditional aromatic varieties of red and lateritic region of west bengal in comparison with short grain elite rice lines

Yield potentiality of twenty one elite short grain aromatic cultivars along with three traditional aromatic cultivars viz. Badshabhog, Kalonunia and Danarguri were evaluated in on farm condition during the kharif 2015 and 2016. Elite rice variety NDR-9539 recoded highest yield (2450 kg/ha) followed by traditional short grain variety Danarguri (2450 kg/ha). The yield performance results clearly indicated that traditional aromatic short grain varieties have high yield potentially in comparison with other short grain eliterice lines of red and lateritic region of West Bengal.
