Different va ri etal and agronomica l field experiments on rice were conducted dur ing summer
20 11 and 20 12 to eva luate growth and productivity of different rice genotypes in mid hill
environment of mid western region of Nepal. Each of the experiments was conducted in
randomized compete block design with three rep licated in 6 m2 plot size. Under varietal
experiment, based on the combi.ned over years genotypes NR 1 0676-B-5-3 (6.6 Uha) and NR
10553 -Bl-25-2 (6 .5 Uha) were superior for gra in yield but non-s ign ificant among the
genotypes. In seed rate experiment, NR 1059 1-B-B-4-3-3 and Khumal-4 were superior i.n
grain y ield (3.8 Uha), whereas seed rate of 80 kg/ha produced higher grain yield (4. 1 t/ha).
Simi lar ly, in seedling age experiment, NR 10585-B-B-4-3-2 produced higher yield (5.4 tlha)
with 25 days old seed lings w1der normal irrigated condition.
