Abstract

The genuineness of variety is one of the most important characteristics of quality seed. In addition, seed certification, which forms a link between variety registration and seed production, involves an assessment of both varietal identity and purity to assure the quality of seed for the farmer. Hence characterization of two hybrids such as KRH-2 and DRRH-2 including their parental lines viz., IR-58025A, IR-58025B, KMR-3R, IR68897A, IR-68897B, and DR-714-1-2R based on the seed, seedling was taken up and distinguishing characters were described.
