Abstract
Objective of this study was to evaluate the characters of drought tolerance, P efficiency and yield of someupland rice lines based on shoot biomass, P accumulation and grain yield. Nine lines of upland rice [viz.aromatic upland rice (Unsoed: G9, G13, G19, G35, G39), upland rice from Rice Research Center Sukamandi(IR-80340-23-B-B-1-B-B, IR 75885-25-1-3-B-5-1-2-B-B, IR 75885-26-2-3-B-18-B-2-1-B), upland rice fromUniversity of Mataram (Unram 1E)], four P doses per pot [viz. 0, 0.20, 0.40 and 0.55 kg P2O5] and soil wateravailability [viz. field capacity (FC) (-10 kPa), 50% FC (-24 kPa), 75% FC (-17 kPa) and 25% FC (-30 kPa)were tested. The study was arranged in randomized complete block design with three replicates. The resultshowed that upland rice lines of IR 75885-26-2-3-B-18-B-2-1-B, Unsoed G9 and Unsoed G19 resulted higher ingrain yield under drought condition than others. Yet, Unram 1E and Unsoed G13 had potency to drought evenlow in grain yield. Meanwhile, upland rice lines of IR 75885-25-1-3-B-5-1-2-B-B, IR 75885-26-2-3-B-18-B-2-1-B and Unsoed G19 resulted higher in grain yield under low dose of P than others. Unsoed G9 had bothcharacters in efficient and respond to P, and drought tolerance with high in grain yield. Therefore, it needs toevaluate the performance consistency of both characters on those lines through grown under real conditions inthe field of rainfed areas.
