The local rice varieties of tidal swampland dominate paddy fields in South Kalimantan. Differences in varieties are found with various names as Siam, Bayar, Pandak, and Lemo . This paper reviews of studies related to the local rice of tidal swampland in South Kalimantan. The paper aims to describe the agronomic and morphologic characteristics of the local rice varieties. Data obtained from research was carried out at acid sulfate soils of tdal swampland in South Kalimantan. Characterization of the local rice varieties is carried out based on the Standard Evaluation System for Rice IRRI on agronomic traits, morphological character, grain quality including Fe and Zn content in brown rice, abiotic and biotic stress plant. The observed characters showed that several local rice varieties of tidal swamplands had good or superior characters so that it can be used as crossing material in breeding programs to improve new varieties (HYV’s) that are adaptable in the soil problem and acceptable by farmers and consumers at tidal swamplands. The new HYV’s can also increase rice production and productivity and increase markets demand at tidal swamplands of South Kalimantan.
