To encourage rice-rice cropping system, enhance yield and livelihood in rainfed areas, Drought Breeding Network, Cuttack conducted “Participatory Varietal Selection (PVS)” trial at Samian and Berna village under drought prone rainfed condition during wet season. The management practices were consistent with local crop husbandry used by farmers and evaluations were made by the farmers. The genotypes viz., CR 2624 and IR 74371-70-1-1 were stable, however IR 74371-3-1-1 was found to be suited for fragile environments. The genotypes IR 74371-70-1-1, IR 74371-3-1-1, CR 2624 and IR 55419-04 yielded maximum than best check (Khandagiri) and exhibited low DSI and high DTE for grain yield also. These genotypes registered above 4.5 t ha-1 yield at on-station trial, early vegetative vigour, good drought score. Both male and female farmers scored each genotype for individual traits considered important by them and CR 2624, IR 74371-70-1-1 and IR 74371-3-1-1 genotypes were top three during participatory varietal selection.
