Abstract :
In this study, three females were crossed with five male parents and fifteen hybrids were developed. These fifteen hybrids along with their parental lines and check viz., BDNG 797 were grown during Rabi season of 2014. The parental line BDNGK 798 exhibited high GCA effect for plant height and 100 seed weight, Vijay for number of primary and secondary branches per plant, Digvijay for number of pods per plant and seed yield per plant. The cross BDNGK 798 x SAKI 9516 recorded high significant and desirable SCA effect for number of pods per plant and seed yield per plant and the cross BDNGK 9-3 x ICC 14871 for seed yield per plant.
