Abstract
The progenies from a half diallel (second Griffing’s model) cross involving 8 inbred lines were grown with their parents in 2002 in the experimental field at Kobierzyce. Six lines: S160, S245, S41606A, S41324A-2, S48556-3 and S43523 were bred in “Plant Breeding Smolice”, Ltd., and lines K1653 and K2577A in SWS (Germany). The experiment was carried out using randomized complete block design with three replications. Each experimental unit consisted of two rows spaced 75 cm apart. Data were recorded for plant height, ear height, dry matter content and grain yield. GCA and SCA effects were significant for all traits. The GCA/SCA variance ratio suggests an additive gene action for plant height, ear height and dry matter content, and nonadditive one for grain yield. Lines S160 and S48466-3 were found to be good general combiners for plant height and dry matter content. Significant effects for grain yield were shown by lines S160 and S245. The hybrids with lines S160, S245 and K1653 showed desirable significant effects of SCA for grain yield.
