Heterosis is commercially exploited in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and its potential use has been demonstrated in turnip rape (B. rapa L.) and Indian mustard (B. juncea L.). In Ethiopian mustard (B. carinata A. Braun), however, information regarding heterosis has not been previously reported. This study, therefore, was conducted to generate information on heterosis and combining ability in B. carinata. Nine inbred parents and their 36 [F.sub.1]s, obtained by half-diallel cross, were evalua...
