In the present study on 10 x 10 diallel cross (excluding reciprocals) of taramira (Eruca sativa (L.) both GCA and SCA variances were significant for all the traits except siliqua length and 1000 seed weight. GCA/SCA ratio however indicated the preponderance of non-additive genetic variance for all the traits excepting number of primary branches/plant, seeds/siliqua and seed yield/plant in which additive variance was high. Parents Ldh. Comp-1 (for seed yield, main shoot length and number of siliquae on main shoot), TMC-13 (for primary and secondary branches/plant) and RTM-2 (for siliqua length) were the best general combiners. The best specific combinations for seed yield and other important components like primary and secondary branches per plant, siliqua length and seeds/siliqua were T-27 x TMC-13 and RTM-2 x Ldh. Comp-1
