Abstract

The effectiveness of sibmatingwas comparedwithconventionalselfing in twointervarietal crosses, WH 416 X UNC 1 and HSW 147 X Kalyan Sona of breadwheat. Sibmating proved to be more effective in improving the mean performance for most of the characters studied in both the crosses. The lower limit of the range in sibs also improved in desired direction for mostcharacters. Sibs population maintained sufficientlyhigh genetic variation for most of the characters in HSW147 X Kalyan Sona but the reverse trend was observed inWH 416 XUNC1. Sibs also exhibited improvement in the heritAbility estimates and genetic advance for some of the characters.
