<![CDATA[Demand for rice as a source of food continues to rise, while the capacity to produce a rice paddy more limited. One effort is to develop upland rice tolerance to drought and high production potential. The study was conducted at the Experimental Faculty of Agriculture Unhalu. Character judgments production were observed between (1) the number of tillers at harvest, (2) the number of productive tillers, (3) panicle length (cm), (4) the number of filled grain/panicle and seed weight of 100 grains. The results showed that there are two varieties that are very resistant to drought conditions, namely Bali and Wangkariri Sala. While five local upland rice varieties are very sensitive to drought are varieties Paebiu Sitoro, Wagamba, Paebiu Angata, Apolo, Wakawondu. Keywords: drought resistance, drought stress, upland rice.]]>
