EVALUTION OF RICE Oryza sativa L. GENOTYPES CULTIVETED IN TOW LOCATIONS IN SOUTHERN IRAQ

Abstract

A field experiment were conducted at tow locations (THI QAR and AL-MUTHANAA Governorates) during 0f 2009, 2010 and 2011 growing seasons to evaluation of sex rice genotypes (IR-60819, RP-2235, MESHKAB-1, MESHKAB-2, YASSMEN AND ANBAR-22). R.C.B. Design used replicate three times. Result showed not significant effect of years on all of studied characterictics except infertility and number of panicle per m2 for two locations Thi Gar and AL-Muthanaa. The genotypes were significant differences to number of days to 50 flowering, plant height, flag leaf area, infertility, number of panicle per m2, number of grain per panicle, grain weight, and grain yield that arrive 5.32, 5.28 ton/ ha. with MESHKAB-1C.v for two locations Thi Gar and AL-Muthanaa respectively. . The interaction were not significant effect on all of studied characteristics except plant hight, flag leaf area and grain yield for two locations, the combination (MESHKAB-2 x 2010) gave high means grain yield arrive 5.82 and 5.85 ton/ ha for locations Thi Gar and AL-Muthanaa respectively.
