Abstract


Heteratic effects were analysed in 20 hybrid combinations involving 10 diverse parents. for yield and some yield components. Meen hateresis of 20% was obtained for vield and about 16% for days to flowering as well as pods per plant. In general early X late and medium X late combinations resulted in high heterosis for yield. The possible ways of exploiting, this heterosis was discussed, Implications in producing and growing hybrid pigenopeas was also discussed and some suggestions were made.
