GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMBINING ABILITIES FOR LATEX YIELD IN HEVEA BRASILIENSIS

Published on Feb 01, 2020 02:22 AM

The yield of ten Hevea progenies derived from hand pollination in a set of 5 x 5 diallel
crosses was analysed for combining ability. General combining ability variance (gca) and
specific combining ability (sea) variances were highly significant. The gca : sca ratio was
1:2. Two parental clones, PR 107 and RRIM 628, were identified as general combiners with
PR 107 being more suitable for the production of synthetic clones.  

Keywords: Combining ability, dialIel cross, Hevea brasiliensis, clone, progenies.
