Study was conducted to assess the magnitude of heterosis and combining ability in the line × tester cross material involved 100 hybrids generated by crossing 25 lines with four testers and 3 commercial hybrid check (900 M, DMH-2 and Prabha) in maize at Agricultural Research Station, Arabhavi. The analysis of variance indicated significant amount of variability among the genotypes for yield and yield contributing traits. Among the hybrids, ARYP-24 × CM-111 and ARYP-15 × CM-111 were found to be the best cross combinations for grain yield and its components.
