This study was conducted at the National corn and Sorghum Research center. Male parents were used to form single cross and three-way cross hybrids. Female parents consisted of three inbred lines: ki3, ki21 and ki27 along with two single cross hybrids: ksx 2901 and ksx 2903. Ninety-five high oil hybrid corn were arranged in yield trial and analysed for their oil contents. Results revealed that yield of single cross hybrids were higher than three-way cross hybrids. Means yield of single cross and three-way cross hybrid were 4,569 and 4,363 kg/ha respectively. Oil contents of single cross and three-way cross hybrids were slightly different at 5.6 and 5.8 %, respectively. The highest oil yield 769 kg/ha, was obtained from ki3 x AHO 19-1-4-3-3-4 single cross hybrid whereas the highest oil yield,719 kg/ha, was obtained from ksx 2903 x AHO 19-1-4-3-3-4 three way cross hybrid. Four good general combining ability inbred lines were AHO 19-1-4-3-3-4, aHO 19-1-4-3-1-4,[DA(HO)8-1 x HO 1-2]S4-1-1-2 and [AHO 21-2 x DA(HO)8-1]S4-1-2-1 with the oil content of 5.0, 7.3, 7.2 and 13.0 %, respectively.
