In fodder lablab, a diallel design of experiment was conducted with six genotypes for the biometrical traits of specific leaf weight, dry matter production, crude protein and phosphorus contents during 1994. Among the 30 hybrids studied, 16 hybrids recorded higher mean values than the mean of the hybrids in specific leaf weight. The hybrid DL 3196 x Co 9 recorded the highest mean performance for this trait. In crude protein content also, 16 hybrids exceeded the mean of the hybrids (16.92 %). The highest value of 19.50 per cent was observed in the cross MS 9495 x DL 3196. Regarding phosphorus content, 13 hybrids showed higher values than the mean of the hybrids. The cross Co 1 x DPI 1281 showed significant positive standard heterotic value of 61.40 per cent.
