Demand for rice as a source of food in Indonesia continues to increase in line with the growth of population, while the capacity to produce paddy rice increasingly limited. One of the efforts is to develop upland rice that tolerant to drought and high production potential the hybridization.  The study was conducted at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture Halu Oleo University. Production characters were observed and assessments are tillers number, a number of productive tillers, panicle length, number of filled grain/panicle and weight 1,000 seed grains. The results showed that there is eight promising progeny of upland rice that are tolerant to drought and high potential yield https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol13no4/the-potential-yield-of-some-superior-breeding-lines-of-upland-rice-of-southeast-sulawesi-indonesia/ Upland rice; Progeny; Hybridization; Drought; Mineral stress
