Title: Combining Ability for Yield Related Characters in Fieldpea [Pisum sativum (L.) var arvense.]
Abstract: The experiment was conducted to study the nature of combining ability for six yield and its contributing traits infifty five genotypes of fieldpea including ten parents and their forty five F1’s developed through half diallel mating design. Most of the crosses showed high sca effects for different characters which produced maximum yield, had at least one parent as good combiner for yield and its contributing traits. Among the parents, DF-1, IPFD 10–13 and GCO-703 were good general combiners for grain yield and important yield contributing traits as well as other quantitative traits. The cross DF-1 x HFP-4, HUDP 954 x LFP 477 and LFP 477 x IPFD 10–13 was found to be most promising for grain yield with respect to high and significant sca effects to through transgressive segregants in fieldpea.
