An experiment involving 8 x 8 diallel crossing was conducted with rice to investigate the nature of gene action in governing the various traits studied and to explore the combining ability behavior of various genotypes used in the studies. Twelve agro-physiological characters were included in the study in F1 generation. High additive effects were recorded for plant height, panicle length, productive tillers/plant and primary branches/panicle. The non-additive effects were more pronounced for panicle fertility, days to maturity, shoot dry weight, paddy yield; Na, Ca and K contents of the shoot and K/Na ratio of the shoot. Out of the height parental lines/varieties studied Jhona-349 and Bas-385, respectively, proved to be the best general and specific combiners in the experiment under salinized soil conditions. |

Performance of newly evolved fine rice cultivars Shaheen Basmati and Bas. PB.95 were
compared with the approved varieties; Bas.385 and Super Basmati in saline (EC=1,3,5&7
dSm-1) and saline sodic soils (EC 5.1--5.7 dSm-1, SAR 19--24 and pH 8.8-9.3) in pot and
field experiments respectively. Shaheen Basmati & Bas PB-95 indicated significantly more
plant height; 1000-grain weight and grain yield plant-1 in the pot experiment. Field study
was conducted for three consecutive years. Shaheen Basmati & Bas PB--95 gave higher
yields than the standard varieties Bas-385 and Super Bas. at five sites in Hafizabad (Pindi
Bhattian and Karyala), Sheikhupura (Mirza Virkan and Shahkot) and Gujranwala (Eminabad)
districts. |
