 INTRODUCTION
 Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a member of the Poaceae family and comprises two
known species: Oryza sativa, which is cultivated globally, and Oryza glaberrima,
which is primarily grown in the western regions of Africa (Von and Kole, 2006).
 Rice is a crucial cereal crop that acts as a primary staple food for over half of the
world’s population (Ricepedia, 2020; USDA, 2020).
 For more than 50% of individuals, it is the main or sole source of livelihood and
contributes similarly to national income (Tanveer, 2006).
 As of recent reports, Nigeria ranks as the 13th largest rice producer globally and
leads as the top producer in Africa.
 In 2023, Nigeria produced over 9 millions tons of rice, primarily meeting its local
demand and contributing to employment and economic stability in the agricultural
sector (datapandas, 2024).
 JUSTIFICATION
 Rice is a vital commodity for the Nigerian population, providing a significant portion
of their food requirements and cultivated across nearly all agro-ecological zones in
the country (Adeola et al., 2008).
 While rice production has increased in recent years, it remains insufficient to meet the
burgeoning demand due to population growth.
 To address this challenge, recent strategies have focused on enhancing productivity
through the development and dissemination of improved rice lines. The adoption of
these improved varieties, paired with better management practices, is expected to
result in substantial yield increases (Foley et al., 2011).
 Generally, there is a notion that hybrid rice lines are superior in yield. Therefore, this
research aims to compare performance of inbred and hybrid rice lines in the Abeokuta
environment. Ultimately identifying and recommending the most promising varieties
in terms of yield.
 The two types of lowland rice line (inbred and hybrid) were introduced into Nigerian
rice seed system, with a view to getting the promising one to farmers in Abeokuta and
 OBJECTIVES
The Objectives of this study are to:

 To evaluate the performance of types of rice (hybrid and inbred) lines.

 To investigate the growth, yield and yield components of lines of rice.

 MATERIALS AND METHODS
 Description of Experiment Site: the experiment was conducted at the inland valley
(FADAMA) of the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun State
to compare two type of rice (inbred and hybrid) and then lines.
 Source of Planting Material: Seeds of Inbred and Hybrid rice lines were sourced
from the National Cereal Research Institute (NCRI), Badeggi, Niger state, Nigeria.
 Experimental Design: the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block
design (RCBD) arranged in split plot and replicated three times. The treatments involved
ten lines of Inbred rice and ten lines of Hybrid. The experimental size was 31 m x 27 m.
The main plot 13 x 4 and sub plot of 4 m x 3 m with plant spacing of 20 cm x 20 cm was
used.

CULTURAL PRACTICE

Site Selection: this process involved sourcing for suitable land where the experiment
will be carried out.

Nursery bed: 1 x 2 m bed was constructed for each lines.

Land preparation: The experimental plot was manually cleared before transplanting
the seedlings to the field. The experimental site was be laid out using pegs.

Transplanting: Twenty-one days old seedling were transplanted.

Fertilizer at 80:40:40 kg/ ha of NPK was added. 40:40:40 kg of NPK as Basal at

transplanting. First supplementary of 20 kg of Urea at 38 days after sowing and second
supplementary of 20 kg Urea was applied at 55 days after sowing.
Weed Control: Pre-emergence of Butaforce (butachlor) + Paraquat (paraquat
dichloride) was applied before transplanting. Hand weeding before 2 WAT and
Propanil was applied 3-4 WAT and 7-8 WAT to kill the broad leaf. The
application rate was 100 ml to 15 liters of water, used knapsack sprayer.

Pest control: This was done with the use of wire nets to prevent rodents attack.
At flowering, bird net were used to cover the whole field to prevent the entry of
birds.
 DATA COLLECTION
Five samples were randomly selected per plot and the following
Parameters were assessed:
A. Plant Height (cm)
B. Panicle Length (cm)
C. Number of days to 50% flowering
D. Tiller Number
E. Number of Plant Stand per Plot
F. Number of Panicle per Plant
G. Number of Panicle per Meter Square
H. Grain Yield (tonnes/ha)
I. Number of days to 85% maturity
J. Weight of 1,000 grains (kg)
 DATA ANALYSIS

The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). The

difference among the means was separated using Duncan Multiple range test
(p<0.05).

 CONCLUSION

The results concluded that the hybrid rice lines gave higher yield per hectare
than inbred line. Among the hybrid lines, Chuliangyou 945,Chun9liangyou
21,Hanyou713,Hanliangyou 3908,Huhan 1528,Liangyou173
Jialongyou21,Jingyuzhan,FARO 44 gave higher yield.
For inbred lines; Huyanhan 2,IRBB 7,Yuenanzaosheng, FARO 44,FARO 67,FARO
