A field experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ambalavayal, to evaluate the performance of various traditional paddy varieties in Wayanad. Observations were recorded for 20 selected traditional varieties, focusing on essential growth and yield characteristics. The study indicates, Ayiramkana demonstrated its superiority in grain yield, recording a significantly higher 5.11 t/ha, followed closely by Chenellu with 4.57 tonnes per ha, surpassing other cultivars. Conversely, Kuviginpoothali recorded a lower grain yield at 0.67 tonnes per ha. Chettuveliyan stood out among various traditional rice varieties with its impressive plant height, reaching 143.82 cm, comparable to Gandhakasala at 142.70 cm and Palthondi at 138.03 cm. Ayiramkana excelled in the number of productive tillers per hill, boasting a remarkable 10.80, a significant superiority over other varieties. In contrast, Kakkisala and Chettuveliyan displayed notably lower numbers at 4.63 and 5.27, respectively.
