The combining ability for yield and yield attributes was studied using 7x7 diallel The results revealed the existence of GCA variance in greater magnitude than SCA vari- ance for all the characters studied indicating the scope for improvement by exploiting the available additive components. Among parents IR 8 was the best combiner for all the traits Cult. 340 and ADT 3 for earliness and grain weight, Co. 37 for yield and IR 20 for number of grains per panicle could be the other parents.
