About this title

Synopsis

The level of yield heterosis expressed between testers and lines was generally high enough to use them in hybrid breeding work. This study has identified some promising hybrids with better grain yielding potential and had good other related traits based on location specific and across location performance. Hence, the promising crosses can be utilized for future breeding as well as direct use in production.
