Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at the research field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from July 2017 -December 2017, to study the
morpho-physiological study of different local and HYV rice varieties during aman season
and to identify the important vegetative, reproductive and yield characteristics which
might contribute in higher yield. Ten rice varieties were used as treatments. Among the
varieties, seven were local (Buta, Dudkat, Bindipakri, Chinisagar, Sunashail, Kartik jhul
and Ranjay) and three were HYV varieties (BRRI dhan51, BRRI dhan52 and BRRI
dhan70). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized complete Block Design (RCBD)
with four replications. Data on different growth parameters, physiological parameters and
yield with yield contributing characters were recorded. The collected data were
statistically analyzed for evaluation of the treatment effect. Results signified that the
