Abstract: The Line x Tester method of analysis was followed involving eight female lines viz., PA 810, PA 785, PA 837, PA 873, PA 904, PA 906, PAIG 384, and PAIG 411 for study of heterosis for various fibre quality characters at three environments viz., Parbhani, Nanded & Badnapur. The F1 and their parents were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications, observations were recorded on Fibre length (mm), Micronaire (µg/inch), Fibre strength (g/tex) and Uniformity ratio (%). The magnitude of heterosis was estimated in relation to better parent and standard checks. Results revealed that the cross combination PAIG 411 x AKA 7 showed the highest and desirable significant standard heterosis for UHML, PA 810 x PA 402 for micronaire value, whereas, PAIG 384 x PA 402 for fibre strength and the cross PA 810 x CNA 1054 for uniformity ratio and also exhibited high percentage of heterobeltiosis and high per se performance.
