Abstract

Combining ability analysis of seed yield and seed quality parameters in a 12 x 12full diallel crossing programme indicated thatMC13 (Coimbatore Local) was a good general combiner for numberofseedsIFo fruit and l00-seed weightand culture No.MC84for field emergence, seedling length and seedling dry weight. Considering the seed quality parameters and heterosis for yield, the combinations Co1 x Coimbatore Long Green, KAU MC84 x MC 13, and its reciprocal, MC 36 x Coimbatore Long Green, Priya x Co 1, and MC 13 x MC36 were found to be promising.
