The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with five replications in earthen pots with four different weedy rice genotypes viz. O. rufipogon, O. nivara, O. barthii and O. minuta. Data were subjected to analysis of variance using MS-Excel worksheet. Different morphological and growth behaviors characters and yield parameters were recorded for the morphological study of the different species. The highest plant height was observed in Oryza rufipogon which was statistically at par with O. barthii and O. nivara, whereas O. minuta registered the lowest. The lowest number of tillers plant-1 at maturity was recorded by Oryza rufipogon. The highest number of tillers at maturity was registered by O. nivara which was statistically at par with O. minuta. The highest number of panicles plant-1 at maturity of weedy rice was recorded by the species O. nivara. The lowest number of panicles plant-1 recorded from the species Oryza rufipogon. The species O. minuta registered the highest number of seeds plant-1 which was statistically at par with O. nivara. The lowest number of seeds plant-1 was recorded by the species O. rufipogon. Among the weedy rice species O. rufipogon registered the lowest 1000 seed weight whereas O. minuta recorded the highest one.
