The characters studied were days to flower, plant height (cm), number of leaves/plant, green leaf weight (g)/plant and dry leaf weight (g)/plant. There were highly significant differences among the genotypes as well there were highly significant differences for general and specific combining abilities and it was also found that the variety.
