Abstract
The genetic variability was assayed in 35 aromatic Farmers’ Varieties (FVs). High magnitude of variability was observed for all the characters under study. High heritability was observed for days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of panicles per plant, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, 100-grain weight, grain length, grain breath and grain yield. The collective contribution of the yield contributing characters resulted in high yield for Rampha, Laldhyapa-1, A-1-1, Kauka, Kalakali and Joha Bora. Khasa, Radhunipagul, Mohanbhog, Gobindobhog, Kalojeera, Badshahbhog, Tulsibhog, Tulaipanji, Bora, Joha Bora, Silathia Bora, Jailung Lal Komal, Ghee Bora, Birai, Kabra, Rampha, Kolajoha-Big, Kolajoha-Small and Konkoni Joha were classified as the FVs having strong aroma. Grain yield showed highly significant positive association with number of panicles per plant, 100-grain weight and grain thickness. Positive direct effect on grain yield/plant was observed in number of panicles/plant, 100-grain weight, and grain length and breadth.
