Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) of rice greatly reduces the quality and economic value of grain, and PHS tolerance is one of the most important traits in rice breeding for lowland ecology. Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) was evaluated using thirty four lowland rice genotypes in the field condition. The genotypes Dinesh, Saraswati, Hanseswari, Tulasi and Golak found highly tolerant to PHS. The most susceptible genotypes to PHS were Dubraj, Uday, Dhartri, Lunishree, Panke, Amulya, Utkalprava, Moti, Naveen and Biraj. | Identification of pre-harvest sprouting tolerant rice genotypes for lowland ecology
