Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during the period from June to December 2017 with seventeen aromatic rice varieties viz., V1= Chiniatap 1, V2= Chiniatap 2, V3= Kataribhog 1, V4= Kataribhog 2, V5= BRRI dhan34, V6= BRRI dhan37, V7= BRRI dhan38, V8= BR5/Dulabhog, V9= Khoisanne, V10 = Sadasanne, V11= Zirabhog, V12= Begun bichi, V13= Shakkhorkhora, V14= Chinigura, V15= Kalijira, V16= Badshabhog, V17= Modhumala to study on growth and yield of some aromatic rice varieties. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Regarding growth and yield parameters, the highest number of total tillers hill1 (23.33), leaf area index (5.38), flag leaf length (30.12 cm), number of effective tillers hill1 (21.67), panicle length (32.00 cm), number of grains panicle1 (230.3), number of filled grains panicle1 (212.7), grain yield (3.42 t ha1), straw yield (6.19 t ha1) and number of biological yield (9.610 t ha1) were found in var. BRRI dhan37 but the highest 1000- grains weight (22.80 g) and harvest index (37.48%) were found Modhumala followed by  BRRI dhan34, respectively. The lowest number of effective tillers hill1 (13.33), panicle length (24.67 cm), grain yield (1.583 t ha1), straw yield (4.083 t ha1), biological yield (5.667 t ha1) and harvest index (27.89%) were found in the var. Modhumala.
