Abstract

---

Deviations observed by Metroglyph method regarding the number of cluster formed, number of genotypes in the cluster and superimposition of the genotypes within the cluster pointed out that genetic improvement for yield and yield components is possible. Metroglyph scatter diagram provided the possibility of 11 groups of rice genotypes. On the basis of this grouping, it can be interpreted that hybridization between group-I and group-II is expected to give better rice varieties.
