Abstract: Paddy on farm trials was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Nagapattinam to assess suitable saline tolerant variety in terms of yield, acceptability and adoption potential during rabi season in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu. On farm trials revealed that paddy variety TRY 3 recorded higher grain yield (51.50 q /ha), germination percentage (98.8), plant height (116.9 cm), Number of tillers / hill (29), Number of productive tillers/hill (10), Number of panicles/M2 (356), panicle length (31.2 cm), Number of grains per panicle (150), 1000 grain weight (24.81 g) as compared to CSR 36 and Gangavathy Sona. Paddy varieties, TRY 3, CSR 36 and Gangavathy Sona recorded 24.1, 19.3 and 14.5 per cent higher grain yield than check variety ADT 49, respectively. Gross and net returns were Rs 77,250/- and Rs 35,100/- ha, respectively by cultivating TRY 3 as against Rs 62,250/- and Rs. 25, 250/- ha in the check variety (ADT 49). Farmers were satisfied with TRY 3, as the crop did not suffer from salinity. The variety TRY 3 would be a better option for salinity in Nagapattinam district.
