- Abstract
Basmati 515 is an outcome of three way cross of F1 (Basmati 320 × 10486) with 50021 during 1995-96. The pedigree method of selection was continued up to five filial generations at Rice Research Institute Kala Shah Kaku, Pakistan. It was put in to observational trials, varietal yield trials, micro plot yield trials and regional adaptability trials (National Uniform Yield Trials) from 2002 to 2009. It was concluded that Basmati 515 showed higher paddy yield (3.72 t/ha) than Super Basmati (3.41 t/ha). The variety was additionally found to be moderately resistant to bakanae / foot rot and blast diseases. In physio-chemical tests conducted at Rice Research Institute, Kala Shah Kaku, its head rice recovery alongwith grain length was better (8.85% higher paddy yield) than Super Basmati. Especially elongation ratio (2.10) was better than most of the e×isting e×tra long grain varieties.
