Abstract:
The present investigation consists of 18 local land races of rice genotypes provided from local farmers of Patna district. The experiment was conducted in RBD design having three replication during kharif 2012. Unlike high yield yielding races, land races maintained by farmers are endowed with tremendous genetic variability. The study of genetic variability in any crop would help in the genetic improvement of yield and desirable characters. The success of genetic improvement in any character depends on the breeding programme variablity refers to the presence of difference among the individual of plant population.
