To check the yield potentiality of traditional rice with the high yielding variety like Mtu 7029 (commonly known as Lal Swarna) it was observed that, landraces varieties like Agniban, Bachi, Bahurupi, Byamajhupi, Barani, Chandrakanta, Daharlagra, Kaksal, Khuch and Talmugurdhan etc. possess high yield potential. They produced 54.04 q/ha, 46.6 q/ha, 53.82 q/ha, 56.65 q/ha, 48.49 q/ha, 47.84 q/ha, 51.26 q/ha, 46.53 q/ha and 56.16 q/ha rice respectively in comparison with 48.93 q/ha of Mtu 7029. It was also observed that traditional varieties like Agniban, Bahurupi, Byamajhupi, Kheuch and Talmugurdhan are produce much more yield than the HYVs.
