Abstract:
Castor is one of the non-edible oilseed crops with huge potential in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Estimates of heterosis and combining ability help to identify parents with better combining ability which may be hybridized to produce elite crosses. This paper aims to estimate the magnitude of heterosis and combining ability in castor for yield and yield-related traits.
