Description Rice is the most important staple food in India. It supplies not only the majority of calories but also
nutrients including protein in the average Indian diet. Ordinary rice requires 20-30 minutes to cook. It.
has been shown that diet rich in carbohydrates can be useful in weight control. Grain shape and size
are important traits in determining the market value. The consumers' preference depends on their
socio-economic status, besides physical dimension. Grain quality is a prime fac tor that determines
consumer preference and marketability of rice. In view of increasing demand on quality rice, it is
essential to breed varieties possessing superior grain characteristics. Lowland rice is mostly located in
the eastern region comprising of Assam, WB., Bihar, Orissa, Eastern M.P. and eastern UP. Generally,
high yielding varieties are not popular in Kharif and traditional varieties occupy almost 70% of the
area. The traditional varieties are susceptible to stem borers, lodge prematurely and give low yield
Fifteen lowland mltum with higher y ield potential in the first year and eight in the second year were tested for superior grain quality. Assesment of the quality parameters revealed that short bold cultures yielded 5 5 to 66% head rice, whereas the long bold and long slender yielded 55 Jo 63% and 45 Jo 61%. Ctt!tum like CRK 4-25, CRK 4-22 and CR 835-24, becmm of long slender character associated with requisite cooking quality ,·haracteristia, mqy be utilized for conmmption purpose and popular check variery viZ:, Gayatri and Manasarovar (short bold) along with CRK 2-26, CRK 1-17, CRK 13-11, CRK 17-11-5, CRK 21-1, CRK 1006-5 a11dCRK 24-17 may be mitable for internal trade and comrmrption. These gmotypes have good qualiry attributes and hence may be rued as donors for breeding van.etiu with high yield potential and qality for lowland areas
