A 8 X 8 diallel set excluding reciprocals was studied. Both additive and non-additive gene actions for all the characters studied appeared important. However, predominance of additive gene action for days to maturity, 1000 seed weight and oil content, and non-additive gene action for days to flowering, plant height, number of tillers per plant, number of branches per plant, number of capsules per plant and yield per plant were apparent. Among parents LC 216 was the best general combiner for yield and oil content along with other four important traits. The crosses R 158 X A 7-1-1 followed by LS X A 7-1-1 and R 158 X Hira for yield per plant and LS 4 X LC 216 for oil content were good specific combiners
