Combining ability for grain yield, yield components, and several agronomic and qualitative traits, was studied in a seven-parent diallel cross.

The effects of general combining ability(gca) were highly significant for all the traits measured with the exception of seeds per spikelet, while the specific combining ability(sca) effects were statistically significant for grain yield, plant height, heading time, for all the yield components, and for the Chopin alveographic parameters P and P/L ratio/(From an abstract found in Dialog). 2, record 10, English, - replicated%20plot
