E. Zaffaroni et al., PATH-ANALYSIS ON THE YIELD COMPONENTS OF GENOTYPES OF RICE IN THE STATE OF RIO-GRANDE-DO-SUL, Pesquisa agropecuaria brasileira, 33(1), 1998, pp. 43-48
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the yield of rice genotypes
and verify the yield component influence through path coefficient anal
ysis. Nine rice genotypes were cultivated in experimental field in the
1993/94 growing season. The genotypes EMBRAPA 39-AGRISUL, TF296-1-8,
CL Selecao 447B-B, CL99-40-2, CL78-84-1M-26M-M, TF231-13-1M-5-B, EMBRA
PA 6-CHUI, EMBRAPA 7-TAIM e IRGA 410 were studied in this work. The fo
llowing parameters were analyzed: plant number/ha, panicle number/plan
t, grain number/panicle and grain weight and crop yield. The genotypes
that showed superior behavior were CL78-84-1M-26M-M, EMBRAPA 6-CHUI a
nd IRGA 410. Number of grain per panicle and thousand grain weight wer
e the yield components which had highest effect on yield.
