A field experiment, with one hundred twelve diverse genotypes of rice, was conducted during wet season, 2007 at G.P.B. Research Farm of NDAU&T, Kumarganj, Faizabad to estimate the interrelationships under severe drought condition. The observations were recorded on eleven characters of yield and its attributes. The grain yield plant^-1 reflected strong positive association with harvest index and spikelet fertility at phenotypic and genotypic levels. Path analysis indicated that harvest index and biological yield plant^-1 contributed directly to grain yield plant^-1, while spikelet fertility, spikelets panicle^-1, panicle bearing tillers plant^-1, panicle length and days to 50% flowering were found to be important indirect contributors to grain yield. Besides, certain traits were found to be inter-correlated with each other. On the basis of overall mean performance associated with yield and its attributes the genotypes viz., NDR 509, IR 72049-B-R-22-3-1-1-B. IR 71695-3R-60-3-1 and IR 47547-3B-26-2B-1 were found promising.
