Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Pulses Research Unit, Dr. P.D.K.V. Akola, during Rabi season of 2017-18. In this study, four lines were crossed with six male parents by using line x tester design and twenty four hybrids were developed. These twenty four hybrids along with their parental lines and checks (3) viz., Virat, PKV Kabuli-4 and PKV Kabuli-2, were grown during Rabi season of 2017-18. The cross PKV Kabuli-2 x Shubhra was recorded highest mean performance for seed yield (24.35 g) and significant standard heterosis (70.28%, 60.20% and 45.37% over check PKV Kabuli-4, Virat and PKV Kabuli-2 respectively), heterobeltiosis (48.48%) and average heterosis (63.70%). Another cross PKV Kabuli-2 x BDNGK-798 revealed high mean performance for (20.55 g) for seed yield per plant also recoded high magnitude of useful heterosis (43.71%, 35.20% and 22.69% over check PKV Kabuli-4, Virat and PKV Kabuli-2 respectively).
