A field experiment was conducted to study the extent of heterosis in fifty five genotypes of fieldpea including ten parents and their forty five F 1 's developed through half diallel mating design. Based on overall study of forty five hybrids for heterobeltiosis and economic heterosis the cross HUDP 954 x LFP 477 followed by HFP-4 x IPFD 10-13 and IPFD-1-10 x LFP 477 were found best heterotic combinations for yield and its contributing traits viz., number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of primary branches, test weight and harvest index in fieldpea. These crosses could be exploited for isolating useful transgressive segregants in fieldpea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
