Global climate changed increased rice area affected by salinity which decreased rice production and farmer income especially in the coastal area. High yielding rice varieties tolerant to salinity is one of technology component to manage salt affected soil. The study aimed to identify high yielding rice lines adaptive to saline prone area having a high yield potential. A total of seventy seven of genotypes along with four check varieties (Inpari 34, Sidenuk, FL478 and Inpari 43) were tested in saline prone rice area, Eretan, Indramayu on January to April 2018 using randomized completed design with two replications. The thirty lines selected from the yield trial and reevaluated for high yield under normal condition at ICRR research station Sukamandi in WS 2019. The result identified three lines having high grain yield and low salinity tolerance index which were comparable to the best check FL478 and Sidenuk. These two lines were promising lines to be evaluated in advanced yield trial in several different environments.
