Heterosis, Inbreeding depression, Number of pod, Pigeonpea, Seed yieldAbstract
In the present investigation, four pigeonpea crosses namely Bahar × IPA 204, Bahar × BSMR 846, MAL 13 × BSMR 846 and MA 6 × BDN 2029 were studied to comprehend the extent of heterosis over mid-parent (MP), better-parent (BP) and standard variety (SV) for grain yield and its attributing characters. Maximum positive heterosis over mid-parent was observed in MAL 13 × BSMR 846 (27.42%) followed by Bahar × BSMR 846 (17.34%) for seed yield plant-1and also for number of pods plant-1 25.14% and 49.33%, respectively. Heterosis over standard variety was observed to be highest for seed yield plant-1in MAL 13 × BSMR 846 (33.07%) followed by MA 6 × BDN 2029 (19.87%) and for number of pods plant-1 in MAL 13 × BSMR 846 (30.75%). Positive inbreeding depression for most of the characters suggests that selection could be practiced in later generations. High heterosis exhibited by seed yield plant-1may possibly be due to pods plant-1, branches pant-1 and plant height. Recurrent selection or biparental mating for branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1 and seed yield may be considered as the ideal breeding approach for pigeonpea improvement programme.
