Author(s): Ranjana Patial, RK Mittal and VK Sood
Abstract: Heterosis over mid parent, better parent and standard check were determined for yield and yield components in a line x tester design among urdbean genotypes during kharif 2017. Twelve hybrids i.e. IC-282007 x Him Mash-1, IC-436910 x HPBU-111, IC-398956 x HPBU-111, IC-398956 x Him Mash-1, IC-413306 x Him Mash-1, IC-413305 x HPBU-111, IC-413305 x Him Mash-1, IC-281990 x HPBU-111, IC-281995 x Him Mash-1, IC-343885 x HPBU-111, IC-343943 x HPBU-111 and IC-281984 x HPBU-111 produced high heterotic effects over mid, better parent and standard check for seed yield per plant. Five cross combinations viz., IC-398956 x HPBU-111, IC-281990 x HPBU-111, IC-281995 x Him Mash-1, IC-343885 x HPBU-111, IC-343943 x HPBU-111 had shown significant and positive value over mid, better parent and standard check for seed yield per plant as well as for protein content, hence could be a good source for developing high yielding quality urdbean varieties.
