To ascertain combining ability and genetic variance of thirteen quantitative characters by evaluating forty hybrids developed by line x tester mating design using ten females and four males in pigeonpea. Analysis of variance for combining ability revealed that variance due to parents (ó2 gca) were found significant for majority of the traits under study except seed yield per plant and variance due to hybrids (ó2 sca) were found significant for all the traits under study, which indicates the presence of both additive and non additive gene action. |
