Abstract
Farmers’ saved seed is the principal source of rice seeds in Bangladesh. However, there is no enough information on the quality status of farmers’ saved rice seed of the country. Henceforth, this study was carried out to evaluate the qualities of farmers’ saved rice seeds across the country. The current study considered thirty (30) local and high yielding varieties of farmers’ saved rice seed and subjected to moisture content, number count, purity and germination test. In the number count test, most of the contaminated varieties were admixed with other rice varieties. In most of the varieties, the purity of seed fluctuated from 95-100%. Among all varieties, the highest purity of seed was observed in Kalijira (100%), and the lowest purity was recorded in Kaliboro (85.20%). The seed moisture content varied between 12-15%. The majority of the tested varieties had moisture content above 12%, which reflected as low germination percentage in the laboratory and field condition. The 1000-seed weight was the maximum in cv. Hariath (32.33 g) and the lowest was 9.83 g in Tulsimala. Most of the variety represented better germination in the laboratory condition in compare to field. Further, investigations are needed to ascertain the seed health to come up with a concrete reason for poor germination as well as seed quality of farmers’ saved rice seed of Bangladesh.
