GENETIC VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS OF YIELD COMPONENTS IN RICE

Abstract

The present study revealed a wide range of genotypic and phenotypic variation in the traits studied. High estimates of genetic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance were exhibited by total number of spikelets and grain yield per plant. Grain yield per plant was found positively and significantly associated with panicle weight, number of ear bearing tillers and plant height. The number of ear bearing tillers exerted maximum direct effect followed by plant height and 100-grain weight.
