Abstract
Mustard is one of the most important edible oil seed crops of the world as well as India. In the present investigation, experimental material comprised of eight parents and twenty eight F1 crosses developed by crossing the parents in a diallel fashion. Thirteen characters in these thirty six genotypes were studied in randomized block design with three replications at Agronomy Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during Rabi 2011-2012. The objective of present investigation was to estimate the magnitude of heterosis, heterobeltiosis, standard heterosis; general combining ability effects of parents and specific combining ability of crosses and unravel the gene action involved in the expression of various characters.
The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes
