Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop in Indonesian people^s lives, and most Indonesian people^s staple food is rice. Three varieties of rice are often grown by the community, namely IR-64 rice, Red Short Sertani, and black glutinous rice. IR-64 rice seeds are white, MS. Short is red, and black glutinous rice, where the three rice varieties have differences in rice seed pigments (Pigmented Rice), which cause differences in morphological characters. This study aims to determine the differences in morphological characters of the three types of rice plants. This research is an experimental study using a randomized block design, which consists of 3 treatments using 3 rice varieties, namely IR-64, Red Short Sertani, and Black Glutinous rice varieties, where each treatment is repeated 5 times. Data from this study were processed using statistical analysis. The results showed differences in morphological characters of the three types of rice.
