ABSTRACT
The present study was undertaken with the objective to determine the degree of association between grain yield and its component characters along with grain iron and zinc content characters in rice genotypes. Thirty seven genotypes were evaluated for identifying their efficiency with respect to ten characters. The correlation studies revealed that strong positive significant association of grain yield with plant height, panicle length, no. of productive tillers per hill, no. of grains per panicle, no. of filled grains per panicle and 1000 grain weight. Grain iron content had strong positive significant association with grain zinc content.
Key words: Zinc, Grain, Iron, Genotypes, Rice.
