Whereas the wild species of rice offer an important source of variability for improvement of cultivated rice. Keeping in view of its importance the present work has been attempted to break dormancy of both the wild species and cultivated rice with different treatments. The outcome of breaking dormancy was the early germination, to increase survival percentage, shorten the nursery period and reduced maturity days.This book describe all the possible dormancy breaking methods of wild species and cultivated varities of rice. This may be helpful & used as protocol in future research studies by researchers.
