In the present investigation, seventy five speciality rices called soft rice genotypes collected from different parts of North-East India (especially Assam) were evaluated to estimate the genetic parameters in the experimental material for selection of the diverse parents among the genotypes for yield and component traits. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications at Directorate of Rice Research Farm, ICRISAT Campus, Patancheru, Hyderabad, India. Analysis of variance indicated the existence of significant genotypic differences among the genotypes for the yield and its components traits for all the characters. High GCV and PCV values were observed for seed yield per plant, number of tillers per plant and number of productive tillers per plant, moderate GCV and PCV for plant height, panicle length, per cent filled grains per panicle and test weight. The values were low for days to 50% flowering and days to maturity. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for plant height, number of tillers per plant, number of productive tillers per plant, per cent filled grains per panicle, seed yield per plant and test weight, which indicated that these traits were controlled by additive type of gene action, indicating that these characters are more reliable for effective selection.
