Abstract:The experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during kharif 2010 to assess the agromorphological characterization, genetic variability, association analysis and genetic divergence among the ninety eight aromatic advanced breeding lines of rice along with popular standard checks namely Indira Sugandhit Dhan-1, Pusa Basmati-1, Badsha bhog, Dubraj, Chinnor, Mahisugandha and Kalanamak. High heritability with high genetic advance was found for number of Total spikelets per panicle and Filled spikelets per panicle. Grain yield per plant was positively and significantly associated with 100 seed weight, Total effective tillers per plant, Filled spikelets per panicle and Total spikelets per panicle.
Keywords: Aromatic Rice, Heritability, Genetic Advance
