Yield and quality of some local black rice cultivars were low as the panicle in the same clump do not reach maturity at the same time. This research program utilized plants of three local black rice cultivars of "Mariana", "Purwokerto", and "Toraja". The plants were planted in pots and placed under a plastic house. Some agronomic traits were measured, including number of productive tiller (NPT) and NPT with mature grains in the panicle>85% (NPT-85). Selected plants were determined by quadrant method of NPT-85 over NPT. After three selection cycles, the research reveals four potential accessions of 17,21,28), 15,23,33); 23,27), and Toraja-06.07 (11,13,19). These four accessions called as Unsri P-1 to Unsri P-4, respectively. Field evaluation indicated, the accessions were able to produce high quality grain with NPT-85 over NPT ratio ranged from 87% to 95 %, and yield potential ranged from 6.16 to 8.81 dry un-hulled grain t/ha.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
