Abstract

The present investigation was carried out with a vision to study the per se performance and heterosis forproductivity and fibre quality traits. Fifty five hybrids generated through griffing’s half diallel method were evaluated alongwith eleven parents and two checks RAHH 455 and SHH 818 in 2017-18 at the Main Agricultural Research Station,Raichur. The hybrids SCS-PL-01  SCS-PL-04, SCS-PL-12  SCS-PL-51 and SCS-PL-01  SCS-PL-18 recorded highestyield, UHML and fibre strength among all the fifty five hybrids. Hybrid SCS-PL-01 x SCS-PL-60 expressed highestheterosis over the commercial check. Highest standard heterosis with respect to fibre quality traits was recorded for hybridsSCS-PL-12  SCS-PL-51, SCS-PL-01  SCS-PL-18 and SCS-PL-18  SCS-PL-61
