Rice is an important cereal crop of A&N Islands. The settlement of
human population in these islands originating from different places in
mainland states of India over time resulted in the introduction of many
rice germplasm and varieties in the islands. Eventually these different
types got co-evolved, adapted and found niche in the islands along with
other local types. Therefore, diversity of human population got reflected
in the genetic diversity of rice crop in the islands. The government
organizations like ICAR-Central Island Agricultural Research Institute
(CIARI), Port Blair and Department of Agriculture, A&N Administration
also introduced high yielding rice varieties for raising productivity in the
islands. In addition, ICAR-CIARI, Port Blair also evaluated, developed
and recommended suitable high yielding varieties to the Island farmers
from time to time. These efforts have undoubtedly steered the rice
production enhancement in the islands. Therefore, it is important to
characterize in detail these important varieties and germplasm lines not
only for research purpose but also for safeguarding IPR issues of the
farmers and stakeholders. We have endeavored to screen, evaluate and
characterize 26 important Islands varieties and germplasm lines for the
62 Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS) traits recommended for
the rice crop. All these important rice germplasm lines were evaluated
in replicated trials for DUS characterization at Bloomsdale Research
Farm, Port Blair. The recommended and uniform packages of practices
were adopted to raise the crop. Similarly, standard methodology was
followed for precise observations and data recording during the entire
crop season. This bulletin encompasses the detailed characterization of
important rice germplasm of A&N Islands.
