Abstract: Genetic variation provides recombinant responses which are important for the development of new lines with different aspect of crop improvement studies. Keeping in this view, this work was carried out to evaluate genetic variability of different traditional land races in rice to create the relationships between their morphological and yield components. To target with two replications field trials were carried out on thirty seven rice genotypes with three check estimation to examine their multiple characters. Different traits with genotypic and phenotypic coefficients, variance components, expected genetic advance, heritability and Genetic advance were calculated. Keeping in this view, an attempt was made to characterize a set of untapped traditional land races to provide betterment parental selection for future crop improvement studies.
