Abstract

Rice is one of the major staple foods consumed in all part of the world including Ghana. The study was conducted at the research field of CSIR in Sokwai to evaluate the performance of the newly released rice varieties in lowland ecology in Ghana. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance using Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research Version 2.0.1. The analysis of variance revealed a highly significant variation among most of the agronomic traits studied except for the panicle length, moisture content, total weight of 5 hills, the percent moisture content and the lodging index. The first five principal component (PC) accounted for 71% of the total variation with PC1, PC2 and PC3 contributing 20%, 17% and 13% respectively. The cluster analysis placed the accessions into five main clusters. The cophenetic correlation coefficient (CCC) was 0.42.
