Abstract
A comparative study on heterosis was conducted on nine single, eighteen double, and eighteen three-way cross hybrids for six characters, viz., maturity (days), head diameter (cm), 100-seed weight (g), number of seeds per head, seed yield per plant (g), and oil content (%). The results of the study revealed that single cross hybrids were best for head diameter, number of seeds per head, and seed yield per plant. The double cross hybrids were superior for earliness and 100-seed weight. The three-way cross hybrids were inferior to single and double-cross hybrids in exploiting heterosis.
