Abstract

The analysis of variance postulated the predominance of non additive gene action for " most of the characters under study. None of the parent was found good general combiner for all the traits. The lines 7310 and 6313 were found good conminer for most of Important traits. The crosses 6305 X 6308, 6305 X 6308, 6305 X 6315, 6301 X 6308, 6325 X 7311, 6308 X 6315; 6313 X 7311 and 67398 X 7311 have showed significant positive sea effect for fruit yield per plant. These crosses can be utilised to accelerate the seed of gentic recombination and breaking the 1inkage.
