Popis: Wayanad, a district in the north-east part of Kerala state is situated in the hilly tracts of the Western Ghat region of India. Wayanad in the vernacular language means the land of paddy fields. Rice is an inseparable component of their cultural and agricultural identity. Several native rice cultivars are traditionally cultivated by the people of this area. The present experiment was carried out to study twenty one such native rice cultivars which are cultivated in this agricultural hamlet in terms of the extent of variability present between them in relation to growth and yield characters. Observations were made on nine growth characters and eight yield characters. All the growth and yield characters showed statistically significant variation between the cultivars.
