Choice of parents is considered an important step in any plant breeding programme. Studies on combining, ability helps to provide information on genetic basis of traits under consideration and to identify the suitable parents to be used in hybridization programme. Line x tester mating design is the most potent design among various mating designs available, to assess the combining ability of a large number of genotypes. The present investigation was undertaken to study combining ability of seven genotypes, which were mated with three testers in a line x tester fashion.
