Abstract: A study was conducted during kharif 2017 to generate information on genetic variability parameters among forty four aromatic rice genotypes. These genotypes were evaluated in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and observations were recorded on various yield and quality traits. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters studied except grain breadth and kernel breadth, indicating that ample amount of genetic variability among the genotypes. In general, PCV were higher than the GCV for all characters indicates influence of environment. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance were observed for the characters viz. grain yield/plant, biological yield/plant and plant height which suggested the presence of additive gene action and thereby these traits could be considered as reliable indices for selection.
