A field screening of eight genotypes at farmer’s field of Sundarbazar, Lamjung in randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted to study the character association between yield and yield attributing traits of rice and their direct and indirect effect on grain yield under reproductive drought stress condition from June to November 2018. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences for all traits except plant height, which indicates existence of genetic variability, potential for selection and further improvement among all genotypes under study. Correlation and path analysis revealed that flag leaf area, chlorophyll content, days to heading and thousand grain weight showed significant and positive association as well as positive direct effect on yield of rice which means direct selection of these traits would be beneficial for the improvement of grain yield facilitating the selection and progress on breeding program.
