Abstract:
The most popular traditional aromatic rice genotypes in Kerala are Gandhakasala and Jeerakasala grown in the foothills of Wayanad district. On the basis of the grain characteristics, eight Gandhakasala genotypes and one Jeerakasala genotype were selected from the 35 samples collected from various parts of Wayanad district. At Wayanad, aromatic rice genotypes showed more favorable characteristics than at Palakkad. The aromatic rice genotypes JT 9, GT 3, GT 8 and JT 9 performed better based on the high grain and straw yield, intermediate amylose content and moderate aroma in Wayanad district. Among the genotypes GT 3 expressed the better taste, aroma and appearance for cooked rice, and could be recommended for general cultivation in Wayanad.
