Abstract:

Combining ability studies were made in bidi tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), comprising a half diallel set of eight parents and their 28 hybrids. Ten important attributes viz; cured leaf yield per plant (g), days to 50% flowering, number of leaves per plant, plant height (cm), leaf length(cm), leaf width (cm), leaf thickness (mg/cm2), days to maturity, nicotine content (%) and total reducing sugar content (%) were studied. The combining ability analysis exhibited highly significant gca and sca effects for almost all the traits. The magnitude of combining ability variances suggested the prime role of additive gene action for the inheritance of cured leaf yield, days to flowering, a number of leaves per plant, plant height, and leaf thickness whereas, the preponderance of non-additive gene action for leaf width, days to maturity, nicotine content and total reducing Sugar- Parents ABD 101, ABD 111 and GT 7 were identified as a good general combiner for cured leaf yield while SB32, SB27, and Patiyali were good combiners for earliness. Best cross based on per se Performance for cured leaf yield was ABD 101 × ABD 111, followed by ABD 111 × GT 7, ABD 101 × GT 7, GT 9 × GT 7, and ABD 101 × SB 54, respectively, also having significant estimates for at least two important yield contributing traits.
