In order to obtain basic informations for selecting early maturing rice varieties which is suitable for early cropping before Alisma plantago in the southern part of Korea. Eleven rice varieties were grown from May to September in 1999∼2001 at Sunchon Youngieon Experiment Field and yield components and yield of plants were investingated. Early maturing rice cv. Jinbubyeo showed higher rough rice yield than any other varieties used in the experiment. It showed high yield components, culm length, panicle length, number of panicles per plant, number of spikelets per panicle and ratio of ripened grains. therefore, it was concluded that Jinbubyeo was the most suitable variety with high yield for the cultivation before Alisma plantago at the southern part of Korea. The heritability of culm length number of spikelets per panicle and rough rice yield were high and that of panicle length number of panicle per plant, ratio of ripened grain and 1,000 grain wt. of milled rice were low. The rough rice yield showed highly significant positive correlations with culm length, panicle length, number of spikelets per panicles and ratio of ripened grains.
