Grain yield under striga infestation which provides a measure of field tolerance was estimated in a seven variety F1 and F2 diallel under two fertility levels. Heritability of yield was low under low fertility and moderate under normal fertility. Study of F1 crosses Indicated presence of overdominance for this character. CSV-8R and S-1841 were the good general combiners for grain yield under striga infestation.
