Abstract


A diallel set of six strains of sesame was studied for their combining ability. Impor tance of general and specific combining ability and reciprocal effects were observed for yield and yield components. Parents Mrug-1 and MT-67-52 which were the best general combiners, were also involved in best specific combinations. This indicated the usefulness of general combining ability for pradiction of yield of hybrids. Specific combinations for earlyness and yield viz. Mrug-1 x MT-67-52 and Mrug-1 x 1-17-2 were identified. Hybrids which were found good in specific combinations were also found so in reciprocal combinations.
