Attention is now being given to the development of rice varieties possessing high yield capacity, stiff straw, good response to fertiliser and wide adaption to our country. To study the established varieties of diverse origin namely Taiwan, Philippines and India, with respect to their. desirable characters and to accommodate them in the cropping pattern of Tamil Nadu, the present investigation was taken up at Paddy Breeding Station, Coimbatore under the All India Co-ordinated Rice Improvement Project for five seasons comprising Kharif and Rabi (Samba and Navarai) seasons of 1966, 1967 and 1968.
