Abstract
Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters. High magnitude of heterotic effects were detected for seed yield per plant and its component traits under both the conditions. Heterosis in seed yield per plant was reflected through heterosis in number of pods per plant, pod length, biomass, numlJ(!r of branches per plant and harvest index in most of the crosses. Significant heterosis over standard check GC 4 was exhibited by most of the hybrids for different characters.
