Abstract
Data presented for 16 varieties on the chemical composition and physical characters of the grain show significant differences in 100-grain weight and content of crude protein, ash, calcium, iron, phosphorus, crude fibre, lysine, leucine, threonine, tryptophan and methionine. CSH1, CSH2 and Swarna had the largest grains, IS2944 and IS84(I) the highest protein content, and IS3796 had promising protein quality. The aminoacid, ash and total phosphorus contents were positively and significantly correlated with protein content, whereas an inverse relationship was recorded between protein content and the lysine complement of the protein
