Combining ability analysis was done in Himachal Pradesh, India, using 15 F1 hybrids and their six parents obtained from a diallel mating, for grain yield, plant height, ear length, days to maturity and 1000-kernel weight. Both general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability effects were significant for all the traits. Crosses x year interaction was highly significant for plant height and days to maturity.
