Online published on 30 November, 2019. Abstract Field experiment on the tested rice varieties revealed that PP-369, Gemini and FP-72 excelled to all with regard to tillers/m2 (267.67,259.33 & 257.00) effective tillers/m2 (265.00, 218.00 & 215.67), panicle length (24.90 cm, 24.87 cm & 23.6 cm), and grain per panicle (138.00, 132.67 & 131.33). Further, among these the PP-369 excelled to all with regard to grain yield (67.67q ha−1) and straw yield (96.00q ha−1) closely followed by Gemini (65.33 & 92.33q ha−1) and FP-72 (61.67 & 85.00q ha−1), mainly due to superiority in number of tillers/m2, number of effective tillers/m2 and number of grain panicle−1. Variety PP-369 proved to be most economically viable with regard to maximum NMR (Rs 46851 ha−1) with the highest B:C ratio (2.95) over other varieties.
