Description Twelve parents were used in the crossing programme to produce 27 hybrids in L×T fashion
during kharif 2015-16. In the field conditions, parents and hybrids were planted in Randomized
Block Design of three replications and evaluated for the performance in terms of yield and yield
contributing characters during kharif 2016-17. Observations were recorded on ten characters
viz., plant height, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of primary branches per
plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per
pod, 100 seed weight, grain yield per plant and harvest index. It was observed that increase in
number of pods per plant directly contributed to increased yield. Among the twenty seven
hybrids, ICPA 2039 × ICPL 161, ICPA 2039 × ICPL 90048 and ICPA 2039 × ICPL149 had
high grain yield.
