The parents and crosses differed significantly for most of the characters indicating considerable amount of genetic variability in the materials studied. The lines MS 104B and SPSFR 94010B and the testers SFCR 125 and SFCR 151 were found as best general combiners. Amongst the crosses MS 104A x SFCR 151, SPSFR 94010A x SFCR 125 and PMS 7A x ICSV 700 were identified as best considering sca effects for shoot fly resistance traits and grain yield.

Abstract


The parents and crosses differed significantly for most of the characters indicating considerable amount of genetic variability in the materials studied. The lines MS 104B and SPSFR 94010B and the testers SFCR 125 and SFCR 151 were found as best general combiners. Amongst the crosses MS 104A x SFCR 151, SPSFR 94010A x SFCR 125 and PMS 7A x ICSV 700 were identified as best considering sca effects for shoot fly resistance traits and grain yield.
