of crops. Hence, an experiment was undertaken to identify the best heterotic
combinations for exploitation of heterosis or hybrid vigour. In this context,
three cytoplasmic male sterile lines were crossed with twenty genotypes of pigeonpea
in a linextester mating design during Kharif 2011-12. Thus, the resultant 60
hybrids along with their parents and standard check variety (NDA 2) were evaluated
in a randomized block design with three replications during Kharif 2012-13.
The results indicated that the manifestation of heterobeltiosis for seed yield
per plant was significantly superior of fourteen hybrids ranging from -85.06-33.74%
and fifteen hybrids over standard variety ranging from -82.57-26.28%. Most of
the crosses which exhibited superiority over better parent or standard variety
for seed yield also showed significant heterosis for primary branches per plant,
secondary branches per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod, biological yield
per plant and harvest index. Besides seed yield, substantial heterosis was also
observed in negative as well as positive direction for remaining characters
but number of crosses showing significant estimates of heterosis and its degree
varied from one character to another. The best cross combinations in order of
merit seed yield and other yield components were NDACMS 1-6AxNDA 98-6, NDACMS
1-6AxNDA 5-14, NDACMS 1-4AxIPA 208, NDACMS 1-6AxICP 870, NDACMS 1-6AxNDA 96-1,
NDACMS 1-6AxNDA 8-6, NDACMS 1-6AxICP 2309 and NDACMS 1-4AxBahar. Commencing
the experimental findings it could be accomplished that the crosses, NDACMS
1-6AxNDA 98-6, NDACMS 1-6AxNDA 5-14, NDACMS 1-4AxIPA 208, NDACMS 1-6AxICP 870
were found to be more than 20% standard heterosis for seed yield recommended
for commercial utilization.]]>Anonymous,20092009Banu, M.R., A.R. Muthaiah and S. Ashok,2007203738Baskaran, K. and A.R. Muthiah,2006Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.].]]>7249252Bharate, B.S., P.B.
