Heterosis and inbreeding depression for grain yield and yield contributing characters in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Abstract:The present investigation on heterosis and inbreeding depression in wheat was carried out at the Crop Research Farm of CSAUA&T, Nawabganj, Kanpur, U.P., India, during the Rabi crop season 2019-20. A ten parental half-diallel cross comprising of 45 F 1 s and 45 F 2 s together with parents was grown in three replications. The outcome of better parent heterosis revealed that the cross combinations, namely, HD3086 x HD-2733, HD3086 x K0307, HD3086 x HD2967, HD3086 x K1601, and HD2967 x K0402 exhibited positive and… Show more
