ABSTRACT

Combining ability analysis in 9 x 9 half-diallel set of Indian mustard studied for nine traits revealed the pre-ponderance of additive gene effects for seed yield, secondary branches per plant, siliquae on main stem, siliqua length, seeds per siliqua and 1000-seed weight. Pusa Bahar was the best general combiner for seed yield and yield components except clays to maturity. Majority of crosses showing high per se performance involved parents of high x high or high x low gca effects. Pusa bold x Pusa Bahar, BM 20-12-3 x JC 26 and Pusa Bahar x JC 26 were promising cross combinations which exhibited high sea effects and high mean performance.
