Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in research fields of the department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, CAU, Imphal to study the nature and degree of association between yield and its component characters and their direct and indirect effects on grain yield in aromatic rice genotypes of North east region of India. Among the important characters studied no. of grains per plant, no. of panicles per plant, 1000 grains weight, panicle length and plant height showed high significant positive correlation with grain yield per plant. Maximum direct effect on grain yield was also observed from no. of grains yield per plant followed by no. of panicles per plant, panicle length, plant height and 1000 grains weight.
