Abstract

Four elite lines and a cultivar of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were evaluated for agronomic and some of the quality
characteristics during 1992 at NARC, Islamabad. DR45 and DR48 out yielded the check variety, KS282 by produ-
cing 18% and II % higher grain yield. The highest elongation ratio (after cooking) was exhibited by KS282 while the
highest protein content (8.66%) was recorded for DR46. Productive tillers/hill showed the highest coefficient of
variability (10.8%). Whereas flowering duration showed the lowest (0.61%). All the genotypes possessed similar
grain quality. DR46 was ranked as inferior, in terms of paddy yield.
