Comparing Yield and Growth of Different Aromatic Rice Varieties

Abstract

Sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals: environmental health, economic profitability and social and economic profitability. Realizing that maintaining a safe and clean environment reduce the risks of living and managing internal as well as external resources shared not only by one family but the whole community. It ensures continuity of the situation not only in the present generation but also for the coming generations. Production of staples should not only focus on the yield but it should also consider its each eating quality as well. The different aromatic rice lines were planted to determine its characteristics, adaptability and yield performance. A study was carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with five treatments replicated three times. All aromatic rice lines were medium maturing, manifest moderate tolerance to major pest and medium yielder (2.67 t/ha).
