| Traits | Method of evaluation |
|
| Culm diameter (CD, mm) | Outer diameter internodes of the 10 culms were measured and averaged |
| Flag leaf area (FLA, cm2) | Flag leaf area (cm2) = flag leaf length (cm) × maximum width (cm) × 0.75 |
| Plant height (PH, cm) | The average of height from the base to the tip of last leaf (flag leaf) |
| Days to flowering (DF, days) | The number of days from seeding to flowering day |
| Days to maturity (DM, days) | The number of days from seeding to maturing day |
| Effective tiller number (ET No.) | Counting of effective tiller per hill |
| Panicle length (PL, cm) | Distance between apex of the panicle (excluding awn) and top most node (neck node) of the culm |
| Primary braches per panicle (PBP, no.) | Primary branches were counted from 5 randomly selected panicles and averaged |
| Primary branch length (PBL, cm) | Lengths of the primary branches present in a panicle were measured (cm) from five panicles and averaged |
| Secondary branches per panicle (SBP, no.) | Secondary branches were counted from 5 randomly selected panicles and averaged |
| Secondary branch length (SBL, cm) | Length (cm) of the 30 random secondary branches from five randomly selected panicles and averaged |
| Filled grains per panicle (FGP, no.) | Number of filled grains per panicle was counted from 10 randomly selected panicles and averaged |
| Unfilled grains per panicle (UFGP, no.) | Number of unfilled grains per panicle was recorded from 10 randomly selected panicles and averaged |
| Grain length (GL, mm) | Length (mm) of a grain was measured by a digital slide caliper from 10 randomly selected fertile grains excluding awn and averaged |
| Grain breadth (GB, mm) | Breadth of a grain (mm) was measured form 10 randomly selected fertile grains by a digital slide caliper and averaged |
| Grain length breadth ratio (GLBR) | Dividing grain length by grain breadth and averaged |
| 1000-grain weight (TGW, g) | 200 grains were weighted then 1000-weight grains were calculated from these weights |
| Yield per plant (GYP, g) | Ten randomly selected plants per replication and averaged |
| Harvest index (HI) | Ratio of grain yield to biological yield |
