ASSOCIATION OF YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.)

Abstract

In rice, positive and significant correlation existed between yield and five of its components, plant height, production tillers, panicle length, grain number per panicle and grain weight in the F2 progenies. Both positive and negative correlations between days to flowering and other yield component traits were observed. Significant and positive intercorrelations between plant height and tiller number and panicle length; tiller number and panicle length and panicle length and grain number were observed in the crosses.

Keywords: Rice, Correlation, Yield Components.
