Quality characteristics of aromatic fine grained rice (Oryza sativa) genotypes for utilization in basmati improvement

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: A study was conducted during rainy season (kharif) 2003 to identify high yielding aromatic rices (Oryza sativa L.) with good milling, cooking and physico-chemical traits on 33 aromatic rice genotypes. The results revealed that among these aromatic rice cultures, 10 possessed significantly higher yield, 17 were having milling quality comparable to checks and 2 possessed physico-chemical characteristics as good as those of basmati checks. Aromatic rice cultures, viz 'Kariga Javile' and 'HUR 77' possessed significantly higher yield, good milling and physico-chemical characteristics. These along with the other genotypes identified superior for one or other important trait may directly or indirectly be used in improving basmati rices.
