A field experiment was conducted to study the extent of genetic variability in yield and yield attributing traits under irrigated conditions. Genetic parameters of variability and heritability of 13 characters were studied in 100 genotypes of local rice. Co-efficients of variation were high for number of productive tillers per plant, grain yield per plant, number of tiller per plant, panicle number, plant height, panicle length, test weight, number of spikelet per panicle. The maximum genotypic co-efficient of variability and phenotypic co-efficient of variability were observed for test weight, number of productive tillers per plant, number of spikelet per panicle, amylase per cent and grain yield/plant (g). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean were observed for days to 50 per cent flowering, test weight, number of spikelet per panicle, per cent of spikelet fertility, protein per cent and grain yield/plant (g) will be useful for further breeding programme. Indicated the possibility of yield and quality improvement through adoption of selection procedures.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted to study the extent of genetic variability in yield and yield attributing traits under irrigated conditions. Genetic parameters of variability and heritability of 13 characters were studied in 100 genotypes of local rice. Co-efficients of variation were high for number of productive tillers per plant, grain yield per plant, number of tiller per plant, panicle number, plant height, panicle length, test weight, number of spikelet per panicle. The maximum genotypic co-efficient of variability and phenotypic co-efficient of variability were observed for test weight, number of productive tillers per plant, number of spikelet per panicle, amylase per cent and grain yield/plant (g). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean were observed for days to 50 per cent flowering, test weight, number of spikelet per panicle, per cent of spikelet fertility, protein per cent and grain yield/plant (g) will be useful for further breeding programme. Indicated the possibility of yield and quality improvement through adoption of selection procedures.
