Abstract
The results showed that each scented rice variety has its own qualities. Some varieties were found to be extraordinary with respect to yield as well as in quality. In terms of plant height, Karigilas and Shyamajeera top the rank which directly related to its internodal distance. Sugandhmati had found to contain maximum number of leaves hill-1 at harvesting. Number of tillers hill-1 at harvest was maximum (9) in Badshahbhog and Gangabaru (9) followed by in Sugandhmati Dujai and Kubrimohar (8 each). Lalu 14 is the earliest maturing variety (105 days) folllowed by Bisni and Lohandi (110 days). Certain degree of lodging effect had been shown by Shyammajeera, Karigilas, Gangabaru, Lalu 14 and CR Sugandha dhan-907, due to their tall height, but which however didn‟t influence yield significantly. The variety Dujai produced the highest grain yield (36qha-1) and generated maximum net return (Rs. 41,989 ha-1) which was comparable with yield obtained in CR Sugandha dhan-907(36.02 qha-1), Dubraj (35.79 qha-1) and Karigilas (35.06 qha-1). However higher value of harvest index was seen in CR Sugandha dhan-907 (42.1%) followed by Indira Sugandhit dhan, both these varieties are improved ones. The maximum test weight value was recorded in Karigilas (37.5g) and least was found in for Badshahbhog (12.18g). Maximum L: B ratio both for paddy and kernel was observed in Sugandhmati (5.4 & 4.0 respectively). Gopalbhog was registered for higest value of hulling (82%) however milling % was highest in Dubraj (77.6%). Highest head rice recovery % was observed in Badshahbhog (69.3%). 11 varieties were considered in the category of strongly scented group. Elongation ratio was higher in Badshahbhog (1.9), however volume expansion ratio was found highest for Indira Sugandhit dhan (3.9). Highest amylose % was observed in Shyamajeera (23%). In terms of gel consistency most of the rice varieties fell in the category having soft kernel.
