rice production in Nigeria was 1.4 million t in 1989 (FAO<br />

1990b). Annu<strong>al</strong> per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice was<br />

12 kg in 1979-81 (FAO 1984) and 11 kg in 1986-88 (FAO 1990a,<br />

IRRI 1991). Parboiled rice was popular (RCMD 1989). Faro26 was<br />

planted on 10,000 ha in 1984 in Kwara State. Faro27 was grown on more<br />

than 50,000 ha in Anambra State and <strong>al</strong>so in Lake Chad Basin (D<strong>al</strong>rymple<br />

1986). Mark<strong>et</strong> samples <strong>of</strong> loc<strong>al</strong> rices had 21-26% AC (RCMD<br />

1989). Of 19 popular and farmers’ field rices, 16 had intermediate AC<br />

and three had high AC; <strong>al</strong>l had low-intermediate GT and variable GC<br />

(IITA 1985).<br />

The 66 samples from Nigeria mainly had high AC, low GT, and<br />

hard GC (Appendix, Table 8). The 1988 samples included six lines:<br />

three with high AC and three with low AC. The four check vari<strong>et</strong>ies<br />

were intermediate- and high-AC rices. Low-AC ITA307 and ITA135<br />

had the lowest Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back and consistency and the s<strong>of</strong>test<br />

cooked rice. High-AC rices Bg90-2, Faro27, ITA212, and ITA222 gave<br />

the hardest cooked rices and highest Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back and consistency.<br />

The new rices were long-grained with medium to slender shape.<br />

Over<strong>al</strong>l, long predominated over medium and extra long grains, and<br />

medium shape over slender.<br />

Cooked rice stickiness correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back<br />

( r = –0.94**, n = 10) and consistency ( r = –0.90**), GC ( r = 0.87**), and AC<br />

( r = –0.87**). Cooked rice hardness correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back<br />

(r = 0.56**, n = 32), GC ( r = –0.71**, n = 33), <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue<br />

( r = 0.56**), and grain width ( r = –0.46*, n = 30). Gel consistency<br />

correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = –0.77**, n = 32) and consistency<br />

( r = –0.62**), <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue ( r = –0.68**, n = 56), and AC<br />

( r = –0.59**). Amylose content correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back<br />

( r = 0.75**, n = 42) and consistency ( r = 0.70**), <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue<br />

( r = 0.69**, n = 66), and grain width ( r = –0.44**, n = 35). Alk<strong>al</strong>i spreading<br />

v<strong>al</strong>ue <strong>al</strong>so correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.69**, n = 42) and<br />

consistency ( r = 0.65**).<br />
