Stay green trait is reckoned as a favourable and desirable trait which can beacon the path to achieve enhanced yield potential in crops including rice. In this study, the correlation and path analysis for several physiological and genetic traits were carried out using six elite rice genotypes namely Maudamani, Swarna, Pratikshya, Lalat, Mrunalini and a Columbian functional stay green cultivar Fedearroz-50. The physiological efficiency and the genetic aspects of the test cultivars were studied by examining the different yield attributing traits, physiological parameters and biochemical traits in order to sort out the most promising genotype for their possible use in future breeding programs. The correlation study showed positive association of plot yield with grain number, harvest index, net assimilation rate, chlorophyll content and grain yield per plant but is negatively correlated with leaf area index. Path coefficient analysis revealed the maximum direct effect of nitrogen content on grain yield. Based on the conclusions drawn from the different statistical analysis it was divulged that higher panicle length, panicle number, grain number along with improved fertility, higher chlorophyll and carbohydrate content may have contributed towards the enhancement of yield in the promising genotypes.
