Abstract: Sixteen rice varieties were collected from Banke, Bardiya, Kailali and Kapilvastu districts to select the superior varieties for upland rain-fed condition. These varieties were tested in RCBD with three replications in the years 2018 and 2019. The parameters compared were heading and maturity days from sowing, plant height, and number of tillers per square meter, grain and straw yield per hectare. Varieties were significantly different for all the traits studied.
