  In order to elucidate the effects of transplanting date on milling, cooking and eating quality traits of nine coarse grain and ten fine grain indica rice lines under four sowing date treatments were studied. Results suggest that very early transplanting is more damaging to milling and cooking of both, fine as well as coarse grain rice lines as compared to delayed transplanting. Likewise, much delayed transplanting is more destructive for milling and cooking characters in case of fine grain rice lines as compared to coarse grain type rice lines. In case of studied fine grain rice genotypes, head rice recovery was observed maximum when translated at 18th of June. Similarly, cooked grain length was improved significantly in case of fine rice lines with delay in transplanting. Results suggest fine grain rice varieties to .. View More»
