Abstract

Seventy four upland rice accessions of Nagaland (India) were evaluated for 13 quantitative traits. All the genotypes differed significantly with respect to all the quantitative characters. Maximum genotypic and phenotypic variances were observed for days to 80% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, leaf length, number of filled grains, and yield per plant. High estimates of heritability coupled with moderate or high value of genetic advance as percentage of means was observed for yield per plant, 100 seed weight, leaf length, days to 80% flowering, leaf width, number of unfilled grains, days to maturity and panicle weight.
