The present investigation is carried out to study the correlation and path analysis in twenty five medium duration (120-125 days) varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Character association of the yield attributing traits reveled significant positive association of grain yield per hectare with plant height, 1000 seed weight and panicle length. Hence selection in these traits can improve yield. In the present study high genetic coefficient of variation coupled with high heritability and high genetic advance was observed for number of seed/ panicle, hence there is scope for improvement of the trait through simple selection. Path coefficient analysis revealed that 1000 seed weight recorded maximum positive direct effect on yield followed by panicle length. Among these characters, 1000 seed weight and panicle length possessed both positive association and high direct effects. Hence selection for these characters could bring improvement in yield and yield components.
