Abstract: Six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) derived from three crosses (BDN 708 X BSMR 571, BDN 708 X BDN 2010-1 and BDN 711 X SKNP 0632) between different parents (BDN 708, BSMR 571, BDN 2010-1, BDN 711 and SKNP 0632) along with check BDN 716. The material was evaluated during Kharif 2018 in randomized block design with randomization of generation replicated twice at Agricultural research station, Badnapur. The crosses BDN 708 X BSMR 571 and BDN 711 X SKNP 0632 were found superior for various traits. Magnitude of heterosis was calculated over better parent and standard check BDN 716 which revealed that crosses BDN 708 X BSMR 571, BDN 708 X BDN 2010-1 and BDN 711 X SKNP 0632 showed significant heterosis over better parent and standard check for various traits which were undertaken for study.
