A field experiment was conducted in randomized block design in rice crop to estimate standard heterosis for yield and its component traits in hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.)”. 6 hybrids of rice along with 3 popular standard check varieties namely IR64, MTU1010, sonum were evaluated for estimation of standard heterosis for grain yield and its component traits. The result showed highly significant variations among the genotypes for all the traits under study. The hybrid BS144 had significant positive standard heterosis over all three checks IR64, MTU1010, sonum for characters namely, grain yield per plant followed by harvest index, number of filled grains per panicle, number of effective tillers per plant, biological yield per plant, grain fertility, number of unfilled grain per panicle should be utilized in designing high yielding plant ideotype.
