Mean squares for both general (GCA) and specific combining ability(SCA) effects were significant for the expression of fibre length andfibre fineness, but GCA effects for fibre strength were non-significant.The larger proportion of variance due to SCA for fibre fineness andfibre strength revealed the nature of gene action to be non-additive,while magnitude of genetic variance due to GCA was greater for fibrelength showing the genetic control under gene effect. The variety NIAB-98 proved to be the best general combiner for fibre length and fibrestrength, and CIM-435 proved to be the best general combiner for fibrefineness. The cross NIAB-98 x CIM- 435 with higher numerical value wasrevealed to be the best varietals combination for fibre fineness, and forfibre length cross Arizona-6218 x Carolina-173 was shown to be betterthan other combinations. Similarly, for fibre strength cross CIM-435 xCarolina-173 appeared to be the promising one among the varietalscombinations.
