Abstract: The present was carried out the genetic analysis of breeding material through heterosis among yield and it components in parents and F1’s hybrids. Ten diverse parents i.e., UP Chari-1, HC-308, UP Chari-2, HC-171, Pant Chari-8, CSV-17, Pant Chari-6, CSV-84, Pant Chari-5 and Rajasthan Chari-1, germplasm selected from SVPUA&T, Meerut, U.P. Ten parents diallel set excluding reciprocals was made during the season of kharif 2018 by raising the crop at Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut. All the 45 crosses and their ten parents were grown during kharif season 2019. All the 45 F1’s hybrids along with ten parents were sown in randomized block design with three replications. Observations were recorded on days to 50% flowering, plant height, leaf breadth, leaf length, stem girth, leaves per plant, leaf area, leaf stem ratio, total soluble solids and green fodder yield. The manifestation of high degree of heterosis over better and mid parent in certain cross combinations revealed the UP Chari-1 x HC-308, UP Chari-2 x CSV-17, UP Chari-2 x Pant Chari-5, CSV-84 x Rajasthan Chari-1 and Pant Chari-5 x Rajasthan Chari-1, suggested that great possibility to produce higher fodder yield varieties/genotype under study. On the basis of overall findings and per se performance the manifestation of high degree of heterosis over better and mid parent in certain cross combinations i.e., UP Chari-1 x HC-308, UP Chari-2 x CSV-17, UP Chari-2 x Pant Chari-5, CSV-84 x Rajasthan Chari-1 and Pant Chari-5 x Rajasthan Chari-1, suggested that great possibility to produce higher fodder yield varieties/genotypes.
