Experiment was conducted to study the effect of water potential treatments on germination and seedling growth of some upland rice cultivars. The cumulative germination and seedling growth decreased significantly with increasing intensity of stress irrespective of cultivars tested, however, IR SO and Culture 1 showed higher tolerance in respect of germination and seedling growth under moisture stress conditions.
