Abstract:
The Line x Tester fashion four lines were crossed with six testers to elucidate the information to select the parents with good GCA and crosses with good SCA effects. The resultant 24 hybrids were evaluated along with 10 parents with three standard checks during Rabi season 2017-18 at Pulses Research Unit Dr. PDKV, Akola. The analysis of variances for combining ability revealed highly significant differences for all the characters among all the crosses. Among the lines PKV Kabuli-2 and BDNGK-807 and among the testers Shubhra were found to be promising general combiners for seed yield and other yield contributing characters. Based on highest significant positive SCA effects only two crosses PKV Kabuli-2 x Shubhra (3.33) and Kripa x Phule G-0739 (2.08) were identified as promising for seed yield and other yield contributing characters.
