Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Combining ability studies on terminal heat tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under late sown irrigated condition using Line X Tester design” was carried out during rabi 2017-18 and 2018-19 at the All India Co-ordinated Wheat and Barley Improvement Project, B.T.C. College of Agriculture and Research Station (IGKV), Bilaspur (C.G.). The experiment was conducted in RBD involving six lines, three testers and 18 F1s hybrids of wheat with two replications for study of character associated with yield and yield contributing traits. The analysis indicated that variance due to treatments was highly significant for all the characters under studied. All the characters except spike weight were highly significant. GCA, SCA and additive effect was found highest for character of harvest index. Among the lines, CG 1015 (Chhattisgarh Gehu)-04 was found good general combining ability (GCA) effect for the character of peduncle length, spike length, number of seed per plant and biological yield per plant. MP 3336 was found good GCA effect for chlorophyll reflection index, harvest index and number of tillers per plant. HD 2285 was found good GCA effect for days to maturity, 1000 seed weight and canopy temperature depreciation. Among the testers, Halna was good GCA effect for the character of days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and spike length. PHSL 10 was good GCA effect for number of tillers per plant, spike weight, seed yield per plant and harvest index. Among the crosses, CG 1015 (Chhattisgarh Gehu-04) X HUW 661 was good specific combining ability (SCA) effect for seed yield per plant. MP 3336 X PHSL 10 was good SCA effect for number of spikelet per spike and number of seed per plant. HD 2932 X Halna was good SCA effect for spike weight and 1000 seed weight and crosses HD 2864 X Halna was good SCA effect for the character of canopy temperature depreciation and biological yield per plant.
