The phenological development and thermal unit requirements of seven aromatic rice landraces of West Bengal were studied in randomized block design (RBD) with 3 replications at ‘C’ Block Farm (22o 99’ N, 88o 45’ E, .), Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalyani, West Bengal, India during kharif (wet) season of 2008 and 2009. All seven indigenous scented rice cultivars were long-duration types ( – days) and differed slightly among themselves towards attainment of different phenophases and accumulation of heat units. | Phenology, thermal indices and yield prediction models of indigenous aromatic rice of West Bengal, India
