The study was carried out during aman season in the Field Laboratory ofAgrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna, Bangladesh to observethe yield performance of aromatic fine rices (Oryza sativa L.) in the mediumhigh land of coastal region. The experiment was laid out in a RandomizedComplete Block Design with three popular aromatic rice varieties of Bangladeshnamely Begunbitchi, Chinigura-1 and Kalijira and five replications. All theparameters e.g. tiller number per hill, days required for booting, heading andflowering, panicle length, spikelet number per panicle, 1000-grain weight,grain yield and harvest index varied significantly among the varieties.Chinigura-1 produced the highest grain yield (2.47 t ha-1) followed by Kalijira(2.15 t ha-1) and Begunbitchi (0.92 t ha-1). The yield of Chinigura-1 obtainedin this study is almost similar to that of national average (2.40 t ha-1).Chinigura-1 may be a potential aromatic rice variety in the coastal mediumhigh lands of Bangladesh.
