Analysis of Correlation and Path Co-efficient between Yield and Quality Traits in Lowland Rice of Nagaland

Nagaland is among north east states of India that has a great potential rice production. The people have affinity for their own local and take delight in cultivation indigenous cultivars. diversity existed within this region can be useful selecting prominent cultivars further improvement yield quality traits as these become the main focus breeder across country. Not only Nagaland, discovery genotypes neighbouring state since climatic condition surroundings are somewhat similar. Considering influence good on marketing need high yielding variety to meet global demand research was taken up ICAR-RC, NEH, Medziphema, during Kharif 2020-2021 evaluate inter-relationship association 81 collected from various parts Nagaland. Each genotype evaluated important parameters. After careful analysis, general phenotypic correlation coefficient slightly higher than corresponding genotypic correlation. A significant positive with grain observed no. filled grains per panicle, days 50% flowering, panicles plant maturity. between parameters were also observed. No. 1000 weight detected direct effect plant. results investigation could used estimating selection breeding program.
