Mayurbhanj District was surveyed to collect rice genetic resources as part of conserving the genetic diversity of rice in the State of Orissa. Reflecting the tribal-dominated nature of the area, 176 accessions were collected, mostly comprising landraces and traditional varieties. They have been documented, characterized for morpho-agronomic characters, and grouped into different rice ecosystems based on their ecology and duration. The collected germplasm are conserved in long-term storage in sub-zero temperature at NBPGR, New Delhi, for future use
