However, the magnitude of GCA variances was much high than that of SCA variances for all the characters reflecting the predominance of additive gene effects in their genetic control. The per se performance of the parents was associated with their GCA effects. The varieties Raj 1721. Raj 2070 and Raj 1521. W best general cen.biners. Superior cicsses involved atleast cno good general combiner.
