Field experiment was carried out in Moddhochar Jabbar of Noakhali, Bangladesh during Boro season (December-April) 2018 to investigate the ameliorative effect of application of gypsum and transplanting method on the yield of BRRI dhan28 (V₁) and BINAdhan-10 (V₂)under salinity stress. The experiment comprised 3 factors; Transplanting method, Variety and Gypsum. This variety was evaluated under two transplanting methods i.e., Furrow transplanting (T₁) and Conventional transplanting (T₂) and four levels of gypsum with control G0: control, G₁: 50 kg ha^-1,G₂: 100 kg ha^-1 and G₃: 150 kg ha^-1 .The experiment was laid out in a Latin Square Design (LSD) with three replications. Salinity level had significant negative effect on plant characters and yield of rice.  Gypsum (@ 150 kg/ha) exerted positive significant effect on most of the plant parameters except number of non-effective tillers. Furrow transplanting method (T₁) had positive significant effect on most of the plant parameters except panicle length and harvest index. Binadhan-10 shows better performance than BRRI dhan28 in case of yield and all yield contributing characters in the prevailing condition. The highest grain yield (6.63 t ha^-1) found from T₁V₂G₃ (combination of furrow transplanting method, Binadhan-10 and gypsum @ 150 kg/ha) and lowest (4.26 t ha^-1) inT₂V₁G₀ (combination of conventional transplanting method, BRRI dhan28 and gypsum @ 0 kg ha^-1). It was calculated that the straw yield highest (8.14 t ha^-1) in T₁V₂G₂ (combination of furrow transplanting method, Binadhan-10 and gypsum @ 100 kg/ha) and lowest (5.61 t ha^-1) in T₂V₁G₀ (combination of conventional transplanting method, BRRI dhan28 and gypsum @ 0 kg/ha).
