Mentik Susu is a popular rice germplasm in Indonesia; the color of white rice is similar to the color of milk, and even the texture is fluffier.Due to field constraints in Mentik Susu rice cultivation, farmers switched to better varieties with higher yields.Farmers switch to superior types with high yields due to high plant posture, long harvest life, and low yields.The aim of this research was to find out how productive and protein-rich 35 mutant plants that could be developed into new varieties were. The research took place at the Tegalgondo Rice Seed Garden Agricultural Land between June to October 2020. This research used a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) method with a single factor. Each treatment was repeated three times. The data obtained analyzed with analysis of variance and followed with Duncan Multiple Range Test at 5% level if any significant influences. The results of this research showed productivity of 35 Mentik Susu rice lines ranged from 4.28 to 6.69 ha-1, with either a high protein content ranging from 5-8% gram-1 and intermediate high yield potential strains G63T11-B6-T27(1), G15T5-14-B5-T60, G15T5-14-B5-T46, G11T22-19-B1-T48, G15T5-14-B3-T36, M-MS2-G15T3-2-5 -T27, M-MS2-G18T7-4-12-T13, M-MS2-G18T7-4-9-T12. These strains might be cultivated as potential candidates for new high-yielding varieties, which would then be evaluated for higher yields or multilocation tests before becoming published as new varieties.
