| Abstract:
Forty seven kohlrabi samples were evaluated for their self-incompatibility and field performance characteristics. Heterosis of some self-incompatible lines selected from these samples were studied in various hybrid combinations. The results showed that the heterosis in weight and width of the enlarged stem, and the height and width of the plant were significant. Four promising hybrid combinations were selected and their yield ranged between 58.7 to 95.3% greater than that of the controls. | |
