Assessment of Genetic Variability for Yield & Its Contributing Traits in Rice (Oryza sativa L.). International Journal of Environment and Climate Change. 2023 May; 13(5): 36-392581-8627https://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/228843The research work was executed Research cum Instructional Farm, Genetics and Plant Breeding department of IGKV Raipur (C.G.) during kharif 2021. The research material under research comprised of 50 rice germplasm lines including two checks namely Mahamaya and Rajeshwari, which were tested in RBD with two replications. The observation of research investigation were recorded for total eight characters viz. Days to 50% flowering, Number of tillers per plant, Panicle length(cm), Plant height(cm), 1000seed weight(g), Grain yield per plant(g), Biological yield per plant(g), Harvest index(%). The analysis of variance showed that there was a highly significant variation in genotypes for all of the studied characters. A small difference between PCV and GCV suggests that the environment has little impact on the concerning traits. The number of tillers per plant, 1000 seed weight, grain yield per plant, biological yield per plant and harvest index had high heritability along with high genetic advance as a percent of mean indicates that the heritability is most likely caused by additive gene action and selection may be effective.Genetic variabilityplant breedingriceJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Collage of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh-492012, IndiaDepartment of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Collage of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh-492012, India
