Performance of newly evolved fine rice cultivars Shaheen Basmati and Bas. PB.95 were compared with the approved varieties; Bas.385 and Super Basmati in saline (EC = 1,3,5&7 dSm-1) and saline sodic soils (EC 5.1--5.7 dSm-1, SAR 19--24 and pH 8.8-9.3) in pot and field experiments respectively. Shaheen Basmati & Bas PB-95 indicated significantly more plant height; 1000-grain weight and grain yield plant-1 in the pot experiment. Field study was conducted for three consecutive years. Shaheen Basmati & Bas PB--95 gave higher yields than the standard varieties Bas-385 and Super Bas. at five sites in Hafizabad (Pindi Bhattian and Karyala), Sheikhupura (Mirza Virkan and Shahkot) and Gujranwala (Eminabad) districts.
