Abstract:
Combining ability analysis involving two lines, six testers and 12 hybrids revealed the importance
of specific combining ability for all the characters except for length of pod and days to flowering. The
varieties Chharodi-1, Culture-9, V 26 and GC-82-7 were the best general combiners and the cross
combinations Chharodi-1 x V 26, Chharodi-1 x Kanakamani and Culture-9 x V 322 were the best specific
combinations for yield and yield attributes under partially shaded upland conditions.
