Abstract: The study was carried out during aman season in the Field Laboratory of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna, Bangladesh to observe the yield performance of aromatic fine rices (Oryza sativa L.) in the medium high land of coastal region. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three popular aromatic rice varieties of Bangladesh namely Begunbitchi, Chinigura-1 and Kalijira and five replications. All the parameters e.g. tiller number per hill, days required for booting, heading and flowering, panicle length, spikelet number per panicle, 1000-grain weight, grain yield and harvest index varied significantly among the varieties. Chinigura-1 produced the highest grain yield (2.47 t ha-1) followed by Kalijira (2.15 t ha-1) and Begunbitchi (0.92 t ha-1). The yield of Chinigura-1 obtained in this study is almost similar to that of national average (2.40 t ha-1). Chinigura-1 may be a potential aromatic rice variety in the coastal medium high lands of Bangladesh.
