A study was conducted during 2005-07 to estimate the heterosis simultaneously for antioxidants and horticultural traits in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.). The significant differences of mean squares among parents and hybrids for various traits of economic importance indicated the presence of sufficient variation. The parents CMS- GA, Golden Acre 83-2, C 2 Pusa Mukta, C 4 and MR-1 had the potential for use in further breeding as they exhibited desirable hybrid effects for ascorbic acid earliness frame size net head weight and head compactness. All Savoy type genotype exclusively expressed the higher magnitude of heterosis for ascorbic acid per se performance of topmost 12 hybrid showed that golden Acre, CNS- GA and 83-2 as female line involved in the evaluation of 9 hybrids. The hybrid effects and heterosis for various traits indicated that there is need to involved more than two parents to develop productive and antioxidant potential cultivars and hybrid.
