Abstract

In a combining ability analyals for sheatfly resistance in pearl millet, no genetic diffa rences were observed between the female parents Tift, 23 Og and M3 5141.9. Among the 40 males that were tested eight were found to be high combiners for resistance. The interaction between males and females was significant. However, only one hyheid showed specific combining ability The usefulness in breeding programme, of male parents identified as high combiners for res tance is indicated.
