Sixty four landraces were evaluated for 10 yield and its component traits. Analysis of variance showed significant difference among the genotypes to all the characters under both control and low-moisture stress condition. Environmental influence was meagre on expression of characters as evidenced by narrow gap between GCV and PCV for most of the characters. The grain yield had positive and significant association with days to 50 per cent flowering and days to maturity under control condition, while test weight, number of tiller per plant, number of productive tiller per plant, number of spikelet per panicle and per cent spikelet fertility both under control and low-moisture stress conditions at phenotypic level as well as genotypic level. Hence, indirect selection for grain yield could be effectively done through direct selection of yield component characters as indicated above.
