Seven soybean genotypes were diallely crossed: Krajina, Backa, Kolubara, 315110, Drina, Sturdy, 32079. Significant differences betweeen parents and their F1 hybrids were obtained for the number of pods per nody. The average number of pods per soybean nody was between 3.8 (line 32079) and 6.2 (variety Kolubara). The average number of pods per nody in the F1 generation ranged from 4.3 (315110 x 32079) to 7.1 (Kolubara x Drina). Analysis of variance for combining ability showed that general combining ability was significant indicating the importance of additive gene effects in the inheritance of the sum of pods per nody. The best general combiners for the number of pods per nody was variety Kolubara.
