Width is measured at the widest portion of the blade on the flag leaf on the main culm. Time: late vegetative stage

Leaf angle is measured near the collar as the angle of attachment between the flag leaf blade and the main panicle axis. Time: after heading

Flag leaf length is measured in centimeters on the main culm. Time: late vegetative stage

The angle of openness of the blade tip is measured against the culm on the leaf below the flag leaf. Time: prior to heading

Blade pubescence is measured by touching on the leaf surface area. Time: late vegetative stage

Leaf length is measured in centimeters from the topmost leaf blade below the flag leaf on the main culm. Time: late vegetative stage

Width is measured at the widest portion of the blade on the leaf below the flag leaf on the main culm. Time: late vegetative stage

Ligule length is measured in milimeters from the base of the collar to the tip. Its absence is denoted by a blank. Time: late vegetative stage

Ligule color is determined by eye inspection. Time: late vegetative stage

Blade color is determined by eye inspection and using green color code by IRRI. Time: late vegetative stage

Color of the outer surface of the leaf sheath done by eye inspection. Time: early to late vegetative stage

Auricle color is determined by eye inspection. Time: late vegetative stage

The days are counted from the date on which sowing on the wet seedbed was made to 50% panicle heading averaged from the whole plot

The shape is measured by eye inspection and based on the diagram given in the Rice Descriptors List. Time: late vegetative stage

Collar color is determined by eye inspection. Time: late vegetative stage

Culm angle readings are based on plants grown in the entire plot. Time: after flowering

Data are taken in milimmeeters from the outer diameter of the culms measured at the midportion of the culm. Time: around flowering period

Culm length is measured in centimeters from ground level to the base of the panicle of the main culm. Time: after heading

Culm number is recorded after full heading as the total number of grain-bearing and non-bearing tillers. Time: after heading

The color of the outer surface of the internodes on the culm. Observed by eye inspection. Time: after flowering
