A study was conducted during Kharif season at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Farm, Jamunabad, Lakhimpur-Kheri to evaluate the performance of different rice hybrids under tarai region of Uttar Pradesh. Findings indicated that among the 34 hybrids R03 has marked variation related to the no. of effective tillers per m2, no. of grains per panicle, test weight (1000 grains weight), grain yield (quintal per hectare) as compared to other hybrids. This hybrid itself shows less sensitiveness to bacterial leaf blight, sheath blight, blast and shoot borer. Bacterial leaf blight (%) and blast (%) were observed highest with R 18, however, shoot borer infestation (dead heart %) has been observed highest in R 17. Germination test of 34 hybrids showed that R08 had highest germination percentage (96%) while, lowest were observed with R 11 and R 13. Observation regarding grain type revealed that amongst 34 hybrids, 13 hybrids are coarse grain type, 11 hybrids are of medium grain type and 10 hybrids of fine grain type.
