Abstract
Agro-morphological characters, growth and yield performances of 11 local cultivars and a high yielding variety (BRRI dhan34) were studied in pot culture at the experimental research field of Agronomy, Sylhet Agricultural University (SAU), Sylhet, Bangladesh for two consecutive years of Aman rice season (July to December 2017 and July to December 2018). The objective was to find out the qualitative glutinous and aromatic rice cultivars for future use. The treatments consisted of eleven local rice cultivars viz., Haitta, Lenjur, Dumai, Modonga, Maloti, Gandi, Biruy, Moyna sail, Nagra sail, Biruin, Madhumadab along with a control variety BRRI dhan34. Twenty-eight (28) agro-morphological traits, growth patterns, and yield performances were analyzed based on DUS (Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability) guidelines, and results showed the phenological variation among the cultivars and BRRI dhan34. Among all the cultivars, Dumai and Lenjur were found as early mature (maturity days 77 and 92 days), Modonga showed lodging resistance, Biruin produced a higher grain yield than others, and Madhumadab had a finer grain with aromatic rice having lower 1000 grains weight. Association analysis also showed a positive relationship between the grain yield with length of panicle, grains per panicle, unfilled grains per panicle, and crop duration (days). So, above mentioned, cultivars were found as promising cultivars for future breeding purposes
