ABSTRACT

The aim of the study was to evaluate the drought tolerance, agro-morphological characteristics and yield of 10 rice varieties collected from different locations. In experiment one, drought tolerance of rice varieties under artificial drought condition in the greenhouse was assessed through root and leaf characteristics. In experiment two, the growth and yield of rice varieties in the rainfed rice field was estimated. The results showed that drought has affected the root characteristics, leaf rolling and leaf drying of these varieties. In rainfed rice field of Thua Thien Hue and Quang Nam province, summer-autumn 2016 and winter-spring 2016-2017 crop season, these rice varieties grew and developed well. The growth time was 90-119 d in summer-autumn crop season, while in winter-spring crop season was 107-131 d. The yield of these rice varieties ranged from 37.02 quintals/ha to 56.33 quintals/ha and from 42.33 quintals/ha to 66.60 quintals/ha, respectively. Some rice varieties with high yields in both two crop seasons were OM4900, GSR38, IR93340 and OM7347. It is sugessted to conduct production experiment on a large area in rainfed field for these four varieties to evaluate them objectively and early put them into structure of rice varieties in Central Vietnam.
