Field experiments were carried out to study the performance of Gomal-6, Gomal-7, IR-6 and KS-282 at three different sites, Lunda Sharif, Jatti Qilla and Said Alian in farmers fields in Dera Ismail Khan district for three years during 1999, 2000 and 2001. The data on days to 50% heading, plant height, number of tillers per hill and paddy yield were recorded. The data showed that Gomal-7 performed better than the other varieties followed by Gomal-6 variety of rice. It can be concluded from these studies that the new varieties Gomal-7 and Gomal-6 are better than the standard varieties of 1R-6 and KS-282 for growing under the agro-climatic conditions of D.I. Khan.
