Six genotypes ofupland rice were planted at research station ofRARS, Dati during 2011/12
and the experiment was replicated three times. The experiment was laid out in randomized
complete block design. Amongst the genotypes included in the experiment, RR 443-2 (2253
kg/ha) identified as promising genotype of upland rice. Difference in grain yield due to
genotypes was not found significant. Similarly, eighteen genotypes of upland rice were
planted at the research station of RARS, Dati during 2012113 . Randomized complete block
design was followed and replicated three times. £R83383-B-B-141-2 produced the highest
grain yie ld (4649 kg/ha) followed by IR81025-B-16-l (4522 kg/ha) and IR83383-B-B129-3
(4488 kg/ha). Among them, twelve genotypes produced grain yield more than 4 t!ha and
identified as promising genotypes for far western mid hills agro-environment. However, the
differences in grain yield due to genotypes was found non -significant but traits like days to
flowering, maturity and plant height were found significantly different. Similarly, seven
genotypes of normal rice were planted in farmers' field of Bhumirajmandu, Dati during
2011112 and 2012/ 13. The experiment was conducted at four farmers' field . Each farmer is
considered as a replication during data analysis. Out of the genotypes included in the
experiment in the year 2011112, NR 10676-B-1-3-3-3 produced the highest grain yield (4708
kg/ha) followed by NR 10585-B-B-4-3-2 (4291 kg/ha) and NR 10591-B-B-3-3-3 (4062
kg/ha) respectively. While in 2013, NR I 0548-4B-22-2-l produced the highest grain yield
(4749 kg/ha) followed by khumal-4 (4687 kglha) and NR 10585-B-B-4-3-2 (4562 kg/ha)
respectively. Statistically, the difference in grain yield due to genotypes was found nonsignificant.
Combined analysis over year was also carried out. Genotypes NR I 0676-B-1-3-3-
3 (4520 kg/ha) and NR 10585 -B-B-4-3-2 (4426 kg/ha) identified as promising genotypes of
normal rice for far western mid hill agro-environment. The effect of treatment and year was
found significant at 5% level whereas the interaction effect of treatment and year was found
non- significant.
