COMBINING ABILITY FOR YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN BLACKGRAM (VIGNA MUNGO L. HEPPER)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Combining ability analysis was done using 20 FIS and 20 F2 families obtained from a 5 X 5 dialIel mating design for yield and its components, viz. dusters/plant, pods/plant, total dry matter, grain yield, harvest index, and 100-grain weight. Highly significant gca, sca and reciprocal variances were observed in both Ft and F2 generations for alI the characters .studied. The gca : sca variance ratio and the estimates of gca effects were similar in Fl and F2 generation for alI the characters except for pods/plant. CO4 and CO 5 were good general combiners for dusters/plant, total dry matter production, grain yield and 100-grain weight; UG 135 and UG 191 for high harvest index; and T 9 for dusters/plant.
