The study was conducted to identify salt tolerant rice landraces among 71 genotypes including 64 landraces and seven cultivars. Analysis of variance exhibited significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits under study. High PCV and GCV were recorded for the traits viz., number of productive tillers per plant, number of grains per panicle, Na+/K+ ratio, 1000 grain weight and grain yield per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance were observed in the traits viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of productive tillers per plant, number of grains per panicle, Na+/K+ ratio, 1000 grain weight and grain yield per plant. Poovan samba, Rajamannar, Katta samba and Sornakuruvai were identified as highest yielding among the landraces under sodicity. Hence, these landraces could be used as donors in development of salt tolerant lines in future breeding programme.
