The experiments laid out two set 1st was station 2nd field Maharajganj district with block villages viz: Siswa Bazar (Gopala & Keshrari), Meethura (Karuta Parsauni). Yield related traits studied. Statistical analysis exhibited that varieties differed significantly days 50% flowering, plant height cm, panicle per sqm, no. spikelet’s/panicle, SRF% grain kg/ha, type insect/pest disease. Moreover, positive genotypic correlations panicle/m2 observed. Principal component also classified superior varieties, shows maximum recorded trial Pusa 1652-10-11-2-1-1-1 (3134 kg/ha 3096 kg/ha), % increase over check Bouna 18.4% 19.39%, followed by 07-62-3-13 (3059 3088 15.21% 18.78% have stability. investment adopting improved line/varieties value Rs. 32192/ha.
