Rice is the second major cereal crop in the eastern mid hills and the existing local varieties of this region are substantial in term of
area coverage due to certain good attributing traits. Coordinated Varietal Trials (CV'I) were carried out in two consecutive years
2004 and 2005 where as Elite Varietal Trial (EVT) in 2005 at Agriculture Research Station (ARS) Pakhribas to identify the
genotypes possessing superior traits required for the eastem hill fanners. On the basis of the result of individual and over year
analysis of common varieties ofCVT 2004 and EVT 2005, genotypes NRI0375-20-l-2 produced the highest grain yield followed by
Khumalll, NR 10492-7-2-2.and NR10515-69-l. NR 10492-7-2-2 and NR10515-69-l were evaluated better with respect to plant
height and straw yield than Khumal 11 and found tolerant to Leaf blast and BLB as well as coarse in grain. In CVT 2005, NR
10490-94-3-l-3 was found at par with standard check Khuma1 11 in grain yield, however, this was significantly taller in plant height
and earlier in heading than .Khumal 11 and found promising regarding with other attributing traits.
