Abstract

To increase production and productivity in this ecosystem, innovative breeding approaches such as heterosis in hybrid rice.Out of these, hybrid rice technology is the proven technology in China and a more practical one to raise production. Hetrosis study comprises of three CMS lines viz., CRMS 31A, IR 58025A and IR79156A and five testers viz., NPT 453-2, NDR 8054 (IR 77768-25-NDR-B-108-14) , CR 2330-3-3-2-1-1, NPT 76-8 and PR-115. Indira Sona (hybrid) and Mahamaya (commercial cultivar) .The crosses were tested as line x tester mating design with two replications. Cross IR 79156A / NPT 76-8 stood for positive significant heterosis over checks for characters grain yield / plant ,test weight, pollen fertility percentage, harvest index.
