Abstract: The field study was conducted at Rice Research Institute, Dokri, Larkana, Pakistan to assess the potential deep water rice cultivar. Five cultivars: Kanwal-95, IR-8, DR-82, IR-6 and DR-58 were screened. Kanwal-95 exhibited prolonged flowering and maturity days by recording elongated plants, more tillers and grain yield followed by IR-8 and IR-6 rice cultivars. The rest of cultivars were almost non-significant in growth and yield parameters. The study recommends Kanwal-95 as potential deep water rice cultivar in terms of elongation and grain yield.
