Abstract
This paper describes the seed germination and seedling vigour of selected indigenous rice landraces, which are traditional rice varieties cultivated in the interior localities of Koraput district, Odisha (India). A total of 10 varieties of rice befitting the agro-climatic conditions of the place have been identified. The majority of them is lowland and up land varieties suitable for cultivation. In addition, they are also resistant to water logging and flooding. It is evident from the present investigation that the traditional landraces of Koraput like Matidhan, Mundadhan and Samudrabali and latimachi have more germination potential and seedling vigour than that of modern high yielding cultivar Lalata and Kamal, which provide farmers’ livelihoods and thus provide a strong argument for the cultivation of more native cultivars. Conservation of the existing indigenous traditional varieties can play an important role in the development of sustainable agriculture and also valuable to the local farmers for agronomic, social and cultural reasons.
