Studies on Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis in Hybrid Rice (Oryza sativa L.) for Yield and Quality Traits

The present investigation was carried out at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Polasa, Jagtial, Telangana state, India to study the correlation and path coefficient analysis towards yield, physical chemical quality traits in 46 genotypes including two checks Randomized Block Design with replications during kharif, october, 2019. Association of yield components among grain characters makes us understand their relationship selecting a high yielding good varieties. result from revealed that all nineteen studied has shown great range variation for analysis. character association studies this experiment trait plant-1 had showed significant positive plant height, spikelet fertility, 1000 weight, milling %, hulling kernel length breadth whereas it negative non-significant days 50% flowering. major contributor followed by number grains per panicle, gel consistency, amylose content alkali spreading value. These direct effects plant-1. From can be concluded above used directly as selection criteria any rice improvement breeding programmes.
