Relationship between carliness and other yield components were analyzed in 20 crosses involving four early and five very early lines in indica rice. Earliness (days to flowering) had significant and positive correlation with most of the characters studied. Positive significant association was observed among the yield components. Correlation studies revealed that selection for very early types obviously resulted in reductin in panicle length, number of grains and 100 grain weight which in turn reduced the yield.
