Abstract

---

Eleven mutants strains derived through mutation breeding from two standard varieties IR6 and IR8 of rice were evaluated for their yield performance in field trials for two years at two locations . three mutant strains of IR6, and two of IR8 gave paddy yields statistically similar to their parent varieties , while the rest of them yielded significantly less. All mutant strains were better in grain quality (interms of L/B ratio) than variety IR8 , while two of them were better than variety IR6.
