During present investigation, efforts were made to study grain quality of rice grown in Amgaon tahsil of Gondia district in Maharashtra. For this purpose samples of 24 rice varieties were collected from 10 villages from Amgaon tahsil. The test weight ranged from 14.30 to 30.40 gm. Basmati, Suma and Pattru varieties of rice were good due to their higher length/breadth ratio. The Nashpoha variety was good for Poha due to its more breadth as compared to all other varieties grown at Javari. The varieties Jairam and Jyotika were medium in size whereas, Pattru, Nashpoha, Suma, Basmati, IR 64, MTU 1010, Ruchi were extra long and other remaining varieties were long in size. Kernel elongation ratio gives finer appearance in all varieties. The highest content of reducing sugar was recorded in Raja and non-reducing sugar in Kranti variety as compared to other varieties grown at village Anjora. All of the varieties of rice were soft and relatively sticky for cooked rice based on amylase percentage. The reducing, non-reducing sugar and amylose content were low to adequate in range due to high temperature.
