Participatory Varietal Selection for Promising Rice Lines

The purpose of rice breeding is to create varieties that are well adapted, highly productive, and acceptable farmers. However, productivity limited as a result combined biotic stresses (pests/diseases). This study combines assessment by farmers with the evaluation breeders respect promising lines within range environments. aim investigate farmers’ preferences characterize yield lines, their resistance pests/diseases consulting 120 breeders. used an oversite design replicated three times thirteen two varieties, which were all evaluated at fields between December 2019 May 2020. Importance Performance Analysis was compare line performance expectations. Lines Gamapadi-2 Gamapadi-4 had highest acceptability scores based on preferences. performances using Finlay–Wilkinson test genotypes environmental models (GGE biplot) determine most stable be recommended for large-scale planting. GGE biplot conclusion analyses also showed exhibited high potential stability, indications specific advantages. results both in locations indicated no symptoms brown planthoppers or bacterial leaf blight due its absence during field research. These age ranges sites blast.
