Abstract: To provide theoretical basis and technical guidance for the popularization and application of rice varietiesintroduced from China, the yield and its components of rice cultivars were evaluated through multi-variety, multi-year and multi-point screening and identification tests in Burundi. The results showed that the yield of Chinese rice varieties was higher than that of local rice varieties, revealing that they had good ecological adaptability, and hybrid rice varieties had a significant effect on yield increase compared with conventional rice varieties. Hybrid rice varieties were suitable for planting in low-altitude areas, while conventional rice varieties were suitable for medium-high altitude areas. The transplanting rice had a higher yield than the rice using the drilling and broadcasting sowing technique. Meanwhile, water-saving cultivation had a higher yield than local cultivation in Burundi. Two rice varieties (hybrid rice Teyou 649 and conventional rice Guifeng No.2) suitable for the large-scale popularization and application in Burundi were screened out, and the overall rice yield level in Burundi could be further improved by combining with the advanced and appropriate cultivation methods.
