Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to generate information on heterosis for yield and its components in durum wheat (Triticum durum L.) through line × tester analysis. The conspicuous heterotic effects were observed for grain yield per plant and its components. A total of 13 and 10 hybrids manifested significant desirable heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis, respectively for grain yield per plant. The heterobeltiosis for grain yield ranged from -36.70 to 56.21%, while standard heterosis ranged from -30.14 to 39.93%. The cross MACS 4054 × DDW 39 (56.21%) exhibited the highest desirable heterosis over better parent followed by GDW 1255 × UPD 2949 (39.73%) and DBPY 2012-06 × WHD 960 (35.60%). The cross DBPY 2012-06 × WHD 960 (39.93%) exhibited highest significant heterosis towards positive direction over standard check, followed by MACS 4054 × DDW 39 (39.47%) and GDW 1255 × UPD 2949 (37.18%).
