Abstract: An expriment was conducted at Pearl Millet Research Station, Jamnagar during Kharif 2018 to studies extent and magnitude of heterosis of hybrids over better parent and standard check The experimental materials was comprised two maintainer lines (females) each have three (A1, A4 and A5) cytoplasmic sources, six inbred testers (males) of pearl millet, their 36 hybrids and two standard checks (GHB 732 for grain yield component and HHB 299 for Fe and Zn content). The experimental results revealed that the crosses based on A1 and A4 cytoplasm were ICMA1 96222 x J-2597, ICMA1 96222 x J-2598 and ICMA4 96222 x J-2584 displayed high magnitude of standard heterosis for grain yield and its releted trait while crosses based on A4 cytoplasm were ICMA4 95222 x J-2584 and ICMA4 96222 x J-2603 displayed high magnitude of standard heterosis for Fe and Zn content. These crosses could be exploited further for obtaining desirable types in pearl millet.
