Two new rice varieties were released in Punjab in 1986. PR108 is resistant to sheath blight and whitebacked planthopper (WBPH), PR109 is resistant to bacterial blight and WBPH. PR108 and PR109 are as high yielding as PR103 and PR106 and Jaya under disease- and insect-free conditions. Total rice recovery and head rice recovery of PR108 and PR109 equaled those of PR103, PR106, and PR4141 and head rice recovery was higher than Jaya's. The new varieties have long, slender white grains. PR108 has high and PR109 has intermediate amylose content. Cooking quality compares favorably with that of PR106, PR4141, PR103, and Jaya. PR108 and PR109 have slightly higher protein content than other varieties. With their good milling quality, desirable appearance, good cooking and eating quality, and good protein value, the new varieties are likely to be as acceptable to consumers and millers as0707PR106, which commands a premium pri
